realskiers

Update:? had 'em out again for a day last Friday.? Again, all groomed, warm temps, some ice, little bit of fresh snow on top of hardpack and ice.? The skis are a blast! They just wanna roar down the hill.? Really had to keep them reined in.? They are awesome for big, fast GS turns where you just hunker down and load up the tail and let 'em push you out of the turn.? What a hoot!

They seem to have a big sweet spot that makes it hard to get off balance.? And I'm still amazed at their edge grip -- there must be something in the construction (cap build fore and aft, sidewall underfoot) that makes them so easy to turn, great in soft snow and crud, and yet have such fantastic edge grip on icy stuff.? Graphics are cool too -- the wild west styling makes them look ready for a shootout in Dodge City.? Gary thinks I should swap my viking helmet for a cowboy hat....YeeHaw! Just need leather chaps (with fringes!) over my ski pants....Tres Chic!
