Svend:? I actually think you have the right size for you in the SuperShape Speed and that Perry has the right size for him in the SuperShape Magnum.

Perry:? I think that "little bobble" that you felt is what Gary and the good skiers refer to as the sweet spot.? Some skis require more attention to maintaining a centered and balanced position on the ski in order to maintain control, some like the Magnum allow you to wobble or get out of balance a bit more without generating any negative feedback.

Perry:  BTW, where were you skiing?  Up in the Blowing Rock area or Snowshoe?

I wouldn't agree that shorter skis imply a better skier, but that high performance skis with a short radius will be shorter.? Equally high performance skis with a longer turn radius will be longer.
