Sorry, but you came to the wrong place for ski advise. Nobody here skis. Just a bunch of trolls, flamers and the occasional wanna-be-but never-were racers hang out here. If you need advise go to: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/f...ard-Discussion You're welcome! |

There are skiers, ex skiers, and loads of recreational skiers. We have our share of poseurs too. I don't now that the technical area is up to what it once was. But my perception is that skis these days don't require any technical data. Short and easy. Just go muscle them around. I'd sell you a pair of 207 Elan RS race stock if you want to go fast? |

See what I mean? Pigo used to ski but gave up skiing years ago and became a golfer. Yup, that's right, a freaking GOLFER is hanging around what is supposed to be a ski forum and trying to flog old, obsolete piece-of-crap skis.. Welcome to r.s.a. |

Anyway, the skier is more important than the ski. A good skier transcends equipment. That's why I buy all my stuff at yard sales. I do not completely agree. I look at some of the skiers in rear entry boots and skis with binding from 25 years ago, and I think the only transition they are going to make is for a sled ride. From my perspective it matters, as racing is 95% mental knowing my equipment is fresh is an edge. But like today when you leave a good piece of equipment in the bag and you hit your arm on the gate where that good piece of arm protector should have been. New helmets are required with FIS stickers for racers, and the carbon fiber helmet does not meet FIS rules and is no longer produced. great light helmet |

We just love to hear ourselves talk don't we? Thanks for the non-sense-anwers Joe |

Thanks for the non-sense-anwers Joe Well, I did try to warn you. Downhill is one of the worst ones here. He can't ski worth **** but loves to go on and on about his "racing" exploits and hand out all kinds of bad advise. Anyway, as I said in my initial reply, if you want some real info go to: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/f...ard-Discussion |
