I'm having the same issue now on my Hot Rods. They just don't bite on the hardpack like they used to. Maybe I'll try the bevel next time I file.

IHow about adding the Volkl AC30 or AC40 to a list of possible demos? Not sure if those are too stiff vs your preference. They'll certainly do what you want them to do: rip groomers, side of the trail fun, and good performance in pow, packed pow, and natural non-bumped snow. What conditions are you demoing in is another factor to consider.

I just demo'd the AC 50's last Sunday. Nice ski and found it responsive and stable on both groomed and bumps. Would haved liked them a little longer (think I was on a 165). Found they rode very much like my current Atomic Metron 9's which is an all mountain ski from a couple of years ago that I just love.

I demo'd the AC50 last year. Nice ride, not as stiff as the Jet Fuel. Didn't seem as stable at speed either, but if I recall, I was also skiing it pretty short (< 169).
