Skis came Friday, opened them, snapped some pics and off the shop with the boots and bindings. I talked with the tech for a bit who knew is stuff. We BS's about old bindings "the Vermont tester" and those old Markers with the exposed springs on the side. Saturday AM, I was finishing up and oil change on the Jeep when the phone rings. Skis are done! 20 minutes later, I'm walking out of the shi shop, 65F and sunny...with skis and boots. People must have been all "WTF is that all about?" Oh, and the girl at the shop told me I should upgrade my boots.  :D

We hit Mt. Snow yesterday. Conditions were quite a mix...some ice, some sugary ganular some mashed potatoes. The skis did awesome! They really blast through the crud. I was surprised how easy that are to manuver for a 178. For a stock factory tune, they held reallly well on the ice.

Overall, I'm super happy with these skis! I just wish I had more season left to play on them!
