OK all purpose.
Mediocre on bumps
Mediocre on high speed carving

My pow/tree skee is Phantom Crystal Ship

My beloved race ski - the Fischer RC4 SL's have to be replaced this year - they're cooked.

FYI ski-depot has pretty good pricing on last years Fischer race series if you want to stick with them, been happy with everything I've gotten there.

Yeah - cool. I love the RC4 SL. I could just cruise down groomers making race turns all day long. Lemme see if I can find what ski-depot has.

hey - you're right. $425 is a great price for last years model, new condition.

Gonna have to run this one past purchasing and see what they say (the wife ;-) )

Head c220i in I think 156 or 163. I'm starting to get ski-envy when it comes to length. But I'm only an intermediate and about 5' 7".

Well, it was a nice thought :razz:


Yeah really.

Well, she knows I need another pair. I've been waiting to see if Peak Performance has a leftover race stock they could sell me, but he usually wants 400 for those. If I can get new for 425, thats a better deal.

Maybe I'll call Fred and see if he's got anything close that the ski-depot deal

Brand new Volkl AC1 170cm, never ski'd on parabolics before, should make for an interesting year. Last skis were K2 UVX, circa 1988. Have some old Raichle front entry boots that will probably be replaced as well.
Gotta love end of year/season sales!

Volant Genesis gold 175cm not very happy with them.
Have a pair of Volkl Carvers 191cm may go back to them.
Also have some old salomon something or others that are straight, 195cm. May even throw some bindings on those as i honestly think shaped skis offer little in bumps.

Ever thought about trying a pair of actual bump skis? That's where you seem to spend most of your time. The Dynastar Twister or Volkl Dagaonslayer may be good ones to try. I'd love to demo an actual bump ski in a good mogul field to see if it makes a difference...

True bump skis are great for what they're made for, but not alot of fun on the rest of the mountain, especially hear in the East. Great to have in the Quiver, but you need something else too.

If I ever commited to getting a pair of bump skis, they would be dedicated solely to days when I know I'd be skiing bumps the majority of the time. My AC3s will remain my all mountain ski.

Yeah I would love to but my $ are already spent elsewhere right now. I bought the Volants last year so i'll suck it up for another year or two.

I ride K2 Apache X
and my girlfriend rocks K2 Burnin' Luv's ( only she has the breast cancer fund pink and white ones)
We both love them and the K2 line and are looking for "chiefs" or twin tips for me and "phat luv's" for her. Anybody have these? Thoughts?
