If you're looking to improve your bump skiing you may want to check out the book titled "Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing" by Dan DiPiro. We have a thread about it here. Its well worth the $11 IMHO.

Thanks! Just put my order in, looks like a great book.

By the way, I bought the Scratch skis in the Ski Barn in Ramsey, NJ. I got very lucky. It took me a while to get over the fact that they would be selling a brand new pair of undamaged Rossi skis for $150 - thinking that there was some 'catch' i wasn't seeing.

They are last year's model, but the Scratch skis haven't changed much (if any at all) in a couple of years, so I think I got a very good deal on them. Hope I am right and they aren't made out of wax or something
