Purchase ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skied up at Park City and Deer Valley over the weekend. Got to test out the boots (other thread) and a couple skis.

Kastle MX98- 174. 1st off I love this ski, second, its just too short. I wish it was a 178.. This was the older, non-rockered version. It is a fantastic ski. all of the fun of the MX line just wider yet still a lot of fun; just too short.....  So, its sold already!   

Rossi S3- Rossi had a free demo tent going so why not? I grabbed a 178 S3 while Gary stayed outside because he didn't want to demo anything, he already had his MX78 and didn't need any other skis..... (you already know where this is going don't you).  We headed up the lift. right off the bat this is a fun ski. Super nimble, quick, easy to get up on edge and taking it into manky foot-plus deep, sun baked snow, the s3 just glided through it like fresh blower. A total blast to jib off stuff on the sides of the run and although I was only on a blue it was stable at moderate speed. Only downside for me was that its a little too soft and a bit too much tip rise. So I called the DOCTOR; Dr. PHIL that is; and he prescribed a Blizzard THE ONE in a 177.  A bit stiffer, a touch less rise with a little bit more run.  It also takes the IQ slider plate and I got two plates: 1 for griffons and the other for dukes.... Perfection.

Gary.... well Gary did eventually try them and well, I'll let him post about that....... (but I am sure you know what happened,,,,)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder which ONE of the Blizzard skis was the ANSWER to your quest. 

I am sure that both you and Gary picked THE right ONE. 

[Ron]

The right one may not be the same........

[LivingProof]

Just guessing but the answer may be seen here.



Moral of story. Why buy a ski, demo another and then get a Blizzard? Hell, just call Dr. Phil in the beginning.

Hmmm.? Gues I missed the boat, 'cause I was sure that Ron was "hinting" that Gary bought his MX98's??
And here I was hoping to get him on the Ullr's Chariot boat.

Jim,
Never even thought of the possibility that the MX98's new owner might be G. All will be revealed, but I can see it happening. He's no dummy when it comes to Kastle's and he skis a length shorter than Ron. We he do a 2 or 3 ski quiver? Stay tuned (pardon the pun in a ski thread).

Well, no Gary did not buy the 98. That's a bit much for him. He did buy something else.....  Ok, He bought the S3 and is loving it.
