I've been happily skiing some midfat Volkl 724 Pros @ 115-77-104 for the past few seasons when I get untracked pow or woods skiing.
I'm generally pleased with them, I don't submarine like I do with my GS skis. But I'm wondering if I can do better. I still seem to sit back more than I would like in order to float well.
For the east, I'm looking for suggestions on what the optimal width and flex should be for those pow days.
Ditto for the woods. For tight woods, it often seems that flex and length are the more critical factors. Would you agree?
Frame all of this by the fact that I'm a middle-aging all-terrain, explorer type of skier. Middle aging means I ain't as strong as I used to be or would like to be. So I don't want to muscle my way around any more, I want skill and form to rule.
Ideas?
