Gary, I've tried the Head Super Shape. It loves to carve but I found that its significant side cut did not lend itself well in the moguls. Though overall, a great ski.  I actually found the RX8 to be more versatile and better in the bumps. I haven't tried the Rip Stick but should do that. But I must admit that I'm not big on slalom type skis anymore. I skied them for many years. I really prefer a GS ski on groomers. My Volkls are 6 years old but they are still a blast to ski. Mine are 188cm. There is no top end for me on that ski but of course it is terrible off the groomers. What I really want is a ski that will perform well in crud, chop, deeper snow and perhaps occasional bumps although I ski them less and less as time passes.
