I loved this statement: "The Y Series is meticulously shaped with a broad shovel and early rise that combine with a narrow waste and traditional tail that translate into an experience second to none in the ease department while allowing for incredible front side carving ability. The flotation of the broad, early rise shovel allows the rider to float effortlessly in powder while truly skiing it - not surfing or smearing the snow." Sure sounds BBR-ish to me. And then again... A wide, early rise shovel, presumably rather soft, how can you not smear your turns in soft stuff. I liked the early Stormriders. Unbelievable edge hold on EasternFirm(tm). Then I tried a pair a couple of years ago and didn't really like them and found a rather pedestrian pair of Elans out performed the 'new' Stormriders. I think Stockli is trying a mass-market approach, probably not its thing. Oh, and so far, I don't believe there is any such thing as a "one ski quiver." Besides where's the fun in that? |

I'd rather discuss when Richard Walsh posted my home address after a wack job said he wanted to shoot me. What kind of dickless coward would do that? Why do I ask? |
