ps - i am a little scared that you remember my weight. you don't have my home address or phone number do you? ;-)

I remember everything..remember we had a height and weight thread...my powder skis are 193s but they are twin-tips so they ski like a 185..for powder skis..surface area divided by weight equals float..I'm 210 pounds and dropping and I couldn't imagine a powder ski shorter than a 180..my Elan carving skis are only 176 but that's different..

PS...I've skied almost as much so far this season as you have in your entire life...you have a way to go young grasshopper..lol

Same here. I scare people with the stuff I remember. I can't remember what I am supposed to get at the grocery store some times but I can remember conversations from 15+ years ago.

Straightlining Blue Mountain for 2 hours hardly qualifies as a ski day...

I bet you could have handled the 176s. The ladies on Ski Diva insist that a powder ski for me, at my level, should be no shorter than 170. I have the Line Celebrities (90mm waist) in 165 and you're a much more aggressive skier than I am. Then again, I haven't figured out the Celebs yet...but my narrower twins are also 165.

I just saw the Tecnica Agent 130 boots come up for the 2nd time...what's up with that? If they didn't sell, don't bring them back up until after the advertised sale is over...

Trigger pulled on the 176. I just walked in from my 50 minute commute. How is that for timing?
