This is a good link but I will point out one point I take issue with, I was speaking wth Scott a couple of weeks back about the comparison of quickness between the 77 and 82. Scott did not ski the 82 with the binding forward, he skied them neutral. he only skied them a couple of runs. I still take the position the 82 is quicker and more energetic. It turns very well on the hard pack. Regarding the issue of the slow speed, Mr.radcliff is correct, If you put a novice or intermediate on the 82, it would probably be difficult to handle, the 82 is not happy going slow however. its does so with a bit of an attitiude!
