thanks for the replies so far !
That's an option for next time. And I made a conscious effort to not "sit back" too much, but admittedly I've been skiing one way for 25yrs, changing my style at this point might be harder (and maybe not as effective) vs just finding a better matching ski for me. I'm not after perfection at this point, just recapturing a better feel on high speed turn (kinda like 911 vs Cayman) .
I will try a lesson next time just to see if I'm doing something obviously wrong. But it felt good, I think it's just a degree of preference. I don't hate the new tech ( I think it made my life easier) I simply would prefer trading some of the quick turn response for more high speed stability. It's possible longer skis might be all I need...
I was hoping to avoid much more "testing" and rental lines, guess there's no free lunch ;-) Long shot - if someone remembers the old Dynastar Course GS I mentioned, maybe you could save me time by pointing out something similar in feel? Will check out blizzard/head/atomic but I'm sure there's a gazillion models..
