Skied some pretty chopped up stuff last night -- lots of fresh snow, chewed up by the boarders.? The SS Speeds just blew through it like it wasn't there...brilliant! Like skiing on freshly groomed.? No lack of stability here, and for once, I didn't get fussy about picking my way around the worst of the crud -- I just went right over it.? This kind of snow used to give me the fits on my old skis -- got tossed around pretty bad.? New Skis = Nice, Nice, Nice!!!

Gary -- not sure if the Speeds are beefier than the Magnums.? My recollection of the Magnum is that they were slightly stiffer over the whole length than the Speeds, but I could be mistaken.? The Speeds certainly have a stiff tail.? Last winter I had them side-by-side in a shop, but was comparing them to last years version of the Speed, which is a different ski.? Now that I think of it, though, they may be stiffer than your SS's -- it would be good to have all three side-by-side to check 'em out.? They're not wimpy skis, though, any one of them.
