Timely thread I was just talking about it over Christmas. Sorry I'm old school and love my old 205 race ski's (I did give up my 215's
) Last year I got new boots which I really needed and the ski store owner and I talked about the new skis, I told him I love my skis and don't really want to go to the new skis, he was adamant I "needed to" get new skis as the tech was so much better. We went back and forth neither going to be convinced, it was funny.
I say do want you want, I will still fly past people in a tuck on their squid skis, pound the mogels on double black diamonds, and drop in to shoots to test my guts
Each to their own and have fun.
