the way i have beat up my skis, they are well on their way to being relegated to rock skis status!

very happy with my bump skis. Head Mad Trix. Great in bumps. I have no quiver. its my only ski so i have to make them work everywhere.
That is extremely ironic because becoming a better skier with more proficient technique and prowess makes it so you don't work so hard and have a higher fun factor on the mountain. I am not suggesting having two or three skis is not preferable (as cited by my previous posts regarding thinking a three ski quiver is ideal... I currently have five :-o ). But rather I was suggesting the inverse of a point of diminishing returns and that is a point of not getting much out of a specialty ski without having the technique to utilize it and also suggesting that the money factor could be an issue, what is worth more.... substantially increased technique that will last until your body starts to deteriorate or a one trick pony pair of boards.i do agree with the statement that improving skills could help you tackle any condition on the mountain. But sometimes, you don;t want to work so hard. having a better tool for the job increases the fun factor on the mountain.
They are also the best powder skis I have ever skied being 67 underfoot
101? Only if I lived in Utah. . .
All skis over 70 should be burned.:lol: That's very funny considering the conversations people have around here of needing 101 under foot. My skis are currently 66 and have been great in everything, although I am tempted to pick up something like an Apache recon with 78+. 101? Only if I lived in Utah. . .
All skis over 70 should be burned.
Well then all Spyder jackets and tight pants should be burned as well..lol
I know this is about skis, but I got a pair of Full Tilt boots a couple of weeks ago and my skiing technique improved dramatically. I'm ripping through stuff like never before.My friends noticed it immediately! No shin bang in the bumps. It feels like I'm controlling the boot and not the other way around. They are based on the old Raichle Flexon design, with improvements. Same molds and were sponsored by K2. Check out Fulltiltboot.com. Ed.

My concern with them is that they appear to be geared toward a narrow foot. I have rather wide and flat feet, so they might not be a good option for me.
What is the flex rating like on Full Tilts stiffest boot? 120?
