I, myself, favor cheaters too. The Metrons are
a little hefty to be considered cheaters, but
do everything well. I just picked up a pair of
Blizzard somethingorothers at season's end. They
seem to qualify as cheaters at 159cm and R=14m.




If you look in the dictionary under "cheater ski" you'll see a picture
of the Metron. It used to be a picture of the 5 Star, but things have
changed.


Uhhhhm, what dictionary would that be?

I'm mediocre enough that I'll take all the help I can get from the gear:
sharp edges, turny skis, skinny boots, whatever it takes.

BTW, I picked up a pair of Mantras at the end of the season so I can
cheat in the soft stuff too.
