I'll be happy to take you up on that, Liam!  I'm happy to try any ski somebody's willing to let me borrow for a run.

the majority of people who think that a rock and roll would be a great east coast tree ski.

would rather ski groomers than the trees
do not know how to find deep snow in the woods
and probably do not ski woods like me and Liam ski

If I owned one it would be for when the trees were skied out or lighter powder. Right now we have 2-3 feet of unsettled snow nearly everywhere in the BC. The RnR wouldnt be awesome at all.  Its been WAY to cold to film or video it.

I don't think you intended it this way, but I think your list describes me pretty well, actually.  I spend all spring/summer/fall going slow in a kayak and, when winter comes, I want to go FAST.  I can understand open trees that don't slow you down much, but don't really understand the fun in the tight stuff you guys enjoy so much.

That said, I'm happy to try any ski you think might change my mind about that, if you think it's an equipment problem.  For the kind of soft-snow skiing I do, I get by just fine with a ski that's 78 underfoot, so a similarly-behaved ski in the 94mm range sounds positively luxurious..  ;D
