I tried them when they first came out (before actually) and a couple of times since. If I have to rent some to go with guests when they come to visit, I guess I will. But that's not skiing. It's just sliding around. |

That is to say you have a very narrow aspect of what is "skiing" (i.e. very close-minded on skiing), care to elaborate what is your "real" skiing? snowbender |

Speed: Boards vs. Skis??
No, they wouldn't. *If you put a skier on skinny skies maybe. *But if
you put the skier on modern big mountain powder skies like the Fat- ypus where the skier stays on top of the snow instead of in it and the skier skis a line similar to a big mountain snowboarder, the skier will be faster. No, they are not. Fat skis or not, they still have to deal with the fact of inferior techniques "crossed tips," "forked skis," and uneven footing, etc., etc. so they would be slower. Here's what I take as "big mountain skiing" standard, see if you can match,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e74qmbwBnuc IS "crossed tips," "forked skis," and uneven footing are not issues for someone who knows how to ski. Like high level big mountain skiers we are talking about. As I said, there's nothing in your example that most of us here didn't have mastered within a year of two of learning how to ski. And when I'm talking about big mountain skiing, I'm talking about the type of skiing where it's impossible to do sideslipped 360's like you are demonstrating. You really neet to try to expand that closed mind of yours. Here's what I'm talking about:http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=GPvVIMilXmc Let's see you try to do your no poles sidelipped 360's on that terrian. Then I will truely be impressed. Otherwise, all the stuff you post is a joke. |

Like the high level big mountain skiers we are talking about. As I said, there's nothing in your example that most of us here didn't have mastered within a year or two of learning how to ski. Seriously, you still have problems with crossing tips? Just uncross them and keep on skiing. I can see that the level of skiing I am talking about here just isn't even on your radar. You can't even comprehend it with that closed mind of yours. It's no wonder you still think snowboards are faster.

If you'd like, I've got a brick who makes more sense. Who can only "hardly snowboard"? All you have to do is wait 5 minutes and you'll be an expert. Does that brick snowboard? :-) Better than you. I suspect. |

Good skiing but I like the more turn variety. I liked that kind of terrain but I would work my way down using the terrain and turning of alot of that stuff. That was snowboard like in it's very few turns aspect. But did demonstrate the skiing speed superiority that's the subject. |
