They are alot of fun. I have a pair in 175 length. The things are very stable at all speeds, yet very nimble going slow.

I wanted to sell them last spring because they were just too stable. I would be racing down a trail at real high speeds with no worry on if they would hold. The speeds I was going were just stupid, so I was going to sell them to slow myself down. Now I am gonna race, so I will be keeping them.

I bought a pair of Rossi z9s at the end of last season. I got them cheap at the closeout sale last season at the local shop.

Hawkshot, thanks for the good feedback. I got mine in the 165 length and will experiment with the arms as soon as snow conditions get decent. I've been angling for this ski for a long time and price was a major factor to scare me away. I'm glad about the deal I got though. I'll use this ski to outrun ski patrol!

Terry, can't wait to ski (and barbecue) at the River! The Z9 is my everyday ski. I'm very happy with it and I know you will too. Got mine at the end of the season last year. This store on Rt 4 in VT was basically giving it away. The ski was actually outside the store by the highway (if I was a thief, I could have swiped it but that would be so wrong -- and really bad karma). Anyway, it was a give-away price too. Never pay retail! See you this weekend.

I found that for all around to use the short arms. They are still very stable when going fast, but much easier for short turns than the long arms.

Just ordered myself some Scott Mission's, and new goggles. Gonna get some bindings tomorrow night. Now I just need a helmet and pants....

Well ordered my Rossi Axial 120's.

Really looking forward to the ski & walk modes of my Endorphins along with the rejunenated, gouge-filled G3s(Volkl)

Hey those Missions read like a nice ride HS99.

New Diablo Flames and a Giro G10 helmet w/tuneups. I also had my crossfires tuned to a .5 degree base and 3 degree side bevel. I can't wait to see how that works out on the hardpack.

Damn, while I was posting this I have SAC in a separate window and they have the Giro g10 with the tuneups II for $56. I paid about $110 for the helmet and $25 for the tuneups.

Isn't that always the way?

I keep eyeing those K2 Phat Luvs on SAC. I really want them but Brian seems to think I don't need them.

Well I added a Giro G10 MX helmet, Scott Slalom shin and hand guards as I hope to join school ski team, and a pair of pants today. This sport is addicting on gear.
