Ah Klosters. Fond memories from last year.
I met a shred Betty on a t-bar whose contact info I really should have gotten. You can have Hawaii. -- |

Last year, because I had the carrying capacity, I took my old 195 Kästles with me, just to see how they compared. I took them on kind of a farewell run. It was odd, apparently being the only person in the entire resort wearing such long skis. Skis have come on a bit: the old Kästles initially didn't feel that different, that is, they'd turn when asked without undue pressure. Then I started noticing the diferences: if I tried to carve, despite exaggerating the movement, they just wouldn't; the lines were there but always scrubbed a bit. Later, as I relaxed and forgot what I was wearing, once or twice I tried to steer the skis around at low speed, as is my habit, by sort of rolling the outside knee inwards and slightly stepping the inside ski into the turn. Here I found that I now had a rapidly diverging pair of skis... -- -Pip |

TBF the Dynastar 185s are probably a tad long for me anyway but they were a bargain second hand from Snow and Rock 20 years ago. I last used them in 2004 at Mont Dore (Espace Sancy). They were indeed hard work for rapid direction changes, but they were invigoratingly fast where you could schuss a bit. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Actually, now that you mention it, my old skis were more stable in a straight line (hardly surprising) and they always had a good glide on shallow runs. -- -Pip |
