I'm on board with that - though we're likely in the minority. My kind of skiing was giant slalom stuff, fast long curves, max speed... The shorter wider new skis I tried seem awesome to make quick mogul turns without much effort or technique, but I found them to lack stability at high speed - they were vibrating under my feet the moment I started to go faster..
That said, at the same time during this experiment, I remembered I need to be in a much better shape to endure an entire day of skiing and get my $200 day pass worth, so it's academic... Skiing has gotten too expensive for my tastes - kids with a lesson and rental were $300 per day each, come on....
