Oops convex bases, not concave! Crazy-looking things anyway.

We call Shants Bob Thompson an ignorant, stupid Luddite. No way of
fixing stupidity.

Sure there is. Just put the gun barrel in your mouth and squeeze the
trigger. All your stupidity will be gone, dumbass.

Oddly enough, saw a pair of them at Crystal yesterday. The guy who
had them was bragging about the skis. Then I saw him skiing.
Basically a groomed glacier, and he was skidding all over the map. I
was on freshly tuned GS race skis and had a hard time holding an edge.
Might be good in fresh snow, but looked like a major pain in
yesterday's conditions.
We need some snow NOW!!!!!

That makes a little more sense. But we called those beveled edges.

Not every "innovation" is worth noticing.
GLM skis, anyone?
