Please don't be offended, but I have to ask this. Why do you like to ski these little skis so much? I have to imagine they are a nightmare in powder. I mean they are only 30 cm longer than my 5 year old daughter's skis. I've seen you ski, TTB and you're a very good skier. You don't need a kid's ski to "allow" you to ski anything. I just think you're short changing yourself with these things...

Not offended at all. Why do I ski on them? They are easy to throw in the trunk, my 170's needed wax, and in the trees and bumps these skis allow me to score some sweet lines.

Are they great in deep pow? Nope. But they are fun.

Okay. Fair enough; they are fun. That's the most important thing, I suppose. However, I stand by my assessment that you're an accomplished enough skier to not need something like that in trees and bumps. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Again, nice pics.

perhaps size really doesn't matter

Point taken. It is just a different angle I guess...I find that I don't turn the 170's quick enough all the time....

Were you at Burke as well?

We're going to ski some trees for you, AZ. A LOT of trees now that the skiing is great again....

I will be packing digital heat as well. Hoping for Burke one day, Sugarbush another. Or maybe Burke two days and one day at SB.
