 But he feels I should really get on skis again first and demo before I decide on something so drastically different. Especially since he's convinced there's little use for them in this area of the country.  Then again, if I go for some twin tip BC skis (I've been looking at Scratch Girls or Dynastar She's Trouble), then I'll have a lot more versatility. You know, in case I want to get all steezy at my old age.  Wait, did I even say that right?

Now if only I can find a way to get somewhere this season that will actually have an assortment of skis I want to demo. Though to be fair, the Phat Luvs on SAC are last year's which had a smaller waist than this year's. That's my argument, anyway, for why I should just get them instead of trying to demo. I don't think that worked.

I'll have my EOS, Nordica Firefox and Elan Wave Spice with me. Happy to let you try any of them if you're around. Looks like some of the Mr Divas will be there too! | |

| I'm on the 2008 model year Salomon X-Wing Fury in a 184. I got to try them last March when they brought a couple dozen prototypes into the country. Salomon fixed the ski this year. It's now wood core, comes in longer lengths, and is much beefier than their 2006 and 2007 model. This ski replaces the old Xtra Hot as the all mountain ski that works equally well in powder, cut-up powder, and the firm stuff. The target market for this ski in this length is 6 foot+ advanced skiers who don't miss many meals. |

| Let's see... the updated list? Dynastar Nova 154cm with Look Exclusive bindings Dynastar Marie Martinod Pro model TT 165cm with Look NX10 bindings Smith Phenom Spherical Goggles-Burg Pillowcase/Platinum Mirror (arriving today!!!!) Smartwool socks (thinner than my previous pairs of ski socks...seeing if that helps with the boot issues) Since I sold my Rossi Saphir Snows, retired my ski socks, and ditched one pair of goggles (still have a clear pair...forget which brand), this is mostly replacement of equipment instead of additional. Mostly. I think that's everything.......
