This probably makes the most financial sense. The reality is, I only ski 20-25 days a year, wish it was more, but that's the way it goes. Out of those days, 5-7 are typically the hard snow days I'd be looking for a race ski. Days where the woods and bumps are shot. As much as its great getting a shiny pair of new skis, its probably not necessary for me to do so for this piece of equipment I desire in my quiver.
