Listen to Guru Gary! If you are skiing old School, be careful, the new skis are not really desinged to skid and you may be getting in over your head and fast with an advanced/expert ski. If you have the 72's stick with them, if not maybe you can rent/demo the 8's in Portillo. They are great skis and they are accomodating as well. They are a stronger ski IMHO than the 72. The 72's is a very accomodating ski that you can learn to carve on but won't kick your butt if your skidding. If you are interested in learning moderns skiing, I would stay away from anything over that 72 or 74 max.
