I’m still on old skinny skis, about 25 years old now. Several pair, all dead or very near to now. edges paper thin, definitely broken down structurally. But I can’t change. Been skiing since I was 3 years old. Ski bummed several semesters in college. There was a time when I got 40-50 days in a winter. I love my long thin light bump sticks. Lightning fast edge to edge. Steer the shovel in, compress, explode out on the tail. Knees welded, quads sucking it up. This modern crap? That’s not skiing. Took out a demo set for the day last season at my daughters urging. Spatulas under my feet. Soft and vague. Easy? Yes. Satisfying ? No.
