What happens when the batteries run out when you're in the middle of nowhere ? Do you get out your kick wax ? |

I think this kind of active skis should be banned in races. Only passive skis allowed, waxing or just mechanical solutions. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes |

My view of it - either, only one brand, no-wax skis should be allowed,
or everyone is free to invent whatever they want. If I invented a super-glide wax and won a race which I othewise wouldn't ever, I wouldn't feel even a bit that I was cheating. The good guys have 10 technicians waxing for them anyway. |
