Hey Ron...thanks for getting those videos posted correctly for me.....I'm such a neophyte when it comes to that stuff.

JB....I'm on the same ship when it comes to technique and ability for all conditions. That's why I like to keep stuffing new ski tools into my bag....exposing myself (careful Jim) to new and exciting mountain challenges. Having skied my SS in shin high snow this past December at Steamboat it certainly can be done and is loads of fun cause....WE WERE SKIING SHIN HIGH POW....I skied all day and took out the Pilgrims the following day. I found both skis allowed me to experience (feel) different motions and both skis allowed me to experience different kinds of turn shapes from carves to swipes to wipes when I was in the bumps, and playing along the off camber edges......yep...al l good!

The real thrill comes when you realize the advantages and disadvantages, the different characteristics and what "enjoyment factors" you are looking to extract from your ski experience that day.

For me like the rest of my ski brothers and sisters....we're always looking for more ways to have more smiles when dancing on the mountain!

Best,
G
