Jim,
You sure sound smitten with the Urll's. The difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys! Personally, I don't want to be on the bleeding edge of technology, maybe, just behind it. Consider waiting for some on-snow report outs. An advantage to a single  western ski is that you get to know how it performs, something like knowing the devil you are with as compared to renting and dealing with the devil you don't know.

Just to speak to JB's point about getting wider skis on edge. My only experience with wider ski's are the Kastle 88's which can't really be called wide in today's definitions. I found that after a few days on them, my knees begin to hurt. The major reason is that I'm still doing my PMTS carving technique and it takes more to get them on edge and keep them there. As you point out, physics is physics. So my thinking is that I will use more brushing, less carving, and use wider radius turns when cruising.

Hmmm, wonder what HH will say when the first pair of Urll's shows up at a camp.
