Do you think it's possible all of that 120 degree heat and humidity may have damaged them?
Here's the deal. My father paid a visit from Florida in early November for my grandfathers reunion. At the time we talked about skiing, which he 'retired' from when he retired to Florida five years ago. The last year he skied, either 2001 or 2002 he had to have surgery at th beginning of the season and did not end up using his brand new skis for more than about 2 days on the hill.
I'm not sure what they are, but he used to always get top of the line Volkl Slalom race skis. So, this weekend I was skiing Sunday River on Saturday and the trails were pretty much sheets of ice. While my Rossi B2's are okay on this type of surface, I know that Volkl has long had the reputation for the best edge grip on ice - part of the reason he always got them.
So, a light went off in my head and thought, hmmm he should send me these essentially brand new skis. I called him and he wasn't sure what they were, but I'm thinking they were the old P40's. Obviously won't be as good as a 2007 Race Volkl ski, but I think for rock hard days like Saturday they will be a better option than what I typically ride.
Okay, enough rambling. Do you think the skis will be damaged having spent five years in such high heat and humidity conditions?
