One Final Question:

If the prices for the Fischer Fire RX8 were exactly the same as the Volkl Tigershark 10 w/ Power Switch, would you still purchase the Fischer's?

As it stands, the prices for these two systems are basically the same: $729 for the Fischers, $674 for the Volkls.

The Fischer RX8 is unavailable in the sizes we want.

The RX8 was your ski of the year for 2007, or a close runner up. The Fire RX8 is basically the same, perhaps a touch better.

The Tigershark was your ski of the year for 2008, and with the settings make it pretty much the equal, assuming the Power Switch really works, and will hold up over years, subject to freezing temperatures and condensation buildup inside the mechanism.

Your thoughts?
