Okay, I'm sold. I don't really like my current skis anyway.

At least a thief would have solved your new ski issues, LD!


Actually, my last day out on them in Courmayeur I was practically
advertising them outside the restaurant. The skis are fine, I just
felt they're too long (175), it felt like I was trying to ski on
clown's feet.

I know the feeling - when I was learning many years ago I was given quite
long skis and I struggled for a couple of days until I replaced them. My
gf
had the same experience last year too!

I've had the opposite on my board - I used a wide board for a couple of
days
of riding powder, but really struggled with it on piste!


Yeah, my skiiing really went backwards this last trip. I was
overcompensating for the length by leaning forward too much with my upper
body. That coupled with the crap conditions and I felt like a total
beginner. If I can offload these (Salomon Crossmax 8s, 175, 3 days skiied) I
might go for some Volkl Supersport 4 stars in 168. You heard anything about
these?
