I chatted with a fellow at the Balsams, who is an instructor at Sunapee. He was twisting a cam on the rear of his skiis to make them run stiffer. You could see the springs in windows at the front of his skiis stretching out. Apparently, it makes quite a difference in his opinion. Anyone ever use such a ski? How do you like it? What is the expected lifespan of such a set of springs? Do you have to remember to release them at the end of each ski session?

Questions, observations?
