Does this mean your rock skis have been put away?

Yea, they were placed on the far left side of the ski rack in the
garage about a week ago.

Weather like this only means that rocks that have been 12' up in the air are
now hiding 2" under the surface. What used to be "air" are now edge rippers.
I found that when there was "tons" of snow is when I really did the
permanent damage to my skis as opposed to just the fixable core shot. I look
at skis like a new truck. NO fun if you don't put any miles on it.

Sure, but with dedicated rock skis I don't even worry about avoiding
the damned things...ski over anything. With my good skis, at least I
make somewhat of an effort.

The key is to know where the usual rock fields are, and avoid them.

Funny thing though, haven't had a core shot ever since I started
skiing on Volkls.
