New Magnums
« on: December 19, 2008, 10:14:22 am »
I walked in the door of my office for the first time this week and there they were standing in the corner.

I may have to snap up the Speeds and then I'll have all the "shapes..."

Man - do I feel like a slow poke with respect to gear.  I still have your RX 8's ;D ;D ;D.  Still a fun ski.  What would you say is the difference between the Rx 8 and the original SS?

My recollection of the RX-8 is now getting distant but I find the way the Supershape reacts when the shovel is engaged to be more authoritative and faster reacting than the RX-8 was.  Both are excellent for their intended use.

thanks, give us a comparison of the SS group once you ski the magnum. I am curious about that as well.

I skied Ron's while here, fine ski. Not my cup of tea, I guess I don't have the skills for them ;)
