I would buy skill...
...for Marc.
Helicopter. Possibly nuclear powered to save the ice caps.
Jeez, if you think the P50s are stiff..... heh! Mantra has that same stiff beefy Volkl feel. Nhski does well on it and raves about it and uses it as a touring ski. My experience was a little different. Definitely more of a front side/side country ski than a great touring ski due to weight. Great in powder but not its forte. Good jack of all trade ski, thus good for front side and side country. Not trying to sway you but I was surprised to read you were set on that ski for touring. But what works for one person may not work for another. I almost bought a pair last season but was glad I demoed first. I may notice subtleties in skis more and have more concern about performance characteristics though.No, and for touring. I decided a while ago, after participating in two demo days, that I really have a hard time noticing what's on my feet, unless some characteristic of the ski is at an extreme (P50's stiff, Head mega carve thingy sidecut, etc). So I gave up and now just ski whatever dimensions give me a mental boost.
Those are bump skies right?Also getting my daughter's new 80 cm Rossi Fun Girls all mounted up too.
