I think that you will enjoy that ski a lot!!! @MamaCat

Just got back from my first set on the RTP. Strangely enough, it felt good right off the bat. I started off doing whips then just doing wake crossings. After that, I felt confident and started doing some real skiing. I felt great and was told by my driver that I looked just as good as before the switch. I'm excited about this binding change. I definitely felt a lot smoother in my pullout/glide and was having an easier time turning the ski more aggressively.
Shoutout to @drew for convincing me that I should ditch the back boot.

It's pretty hard to bet against Nate. I think that he's gonna win and Freddie is gonna be right there with him. It's my second guess that they flip that and Freddie wins and Nate comes second. Though I would kill to see a win from the pickle man aka the tower!

Yup @SlalomSteve

Holy this is a loaded field. Gonna be great to watch these guys crush it!

Any update on what people have been experiencing with this ski?
-
You definitely should be able to use your HO Venom findings on whatever new ski you decide on. @MamaCat

@FLeboeuf that works out well as I'm at the age where I don't give a F**k. Pardon my French.

The Radar lyric is very popular and is also very capable. I'd also look at the HO womens Omni or HO womens Carbon Omni.

That's a great question, I was about to ask it. @C5Quest
-
@Cnewbert I couldn't agree more. It makes me feel good about making the change. I have a "reason" (more weight over the front of the ski in the turns along with my back foot not forcing the ski to turn in an inefficient manner).

@Stefan giving the podcast a listen rn!

Could someone send me the info for getting a permit for a slalom course in Canada?
-
Slightly lifting my heal would definitely make it easier to get my weight forward.
How this all plays out in reality though, is yet to be seen.

In theory, it's easier to get weight on the front of the ski without getting bent out of a good position. @Kwoody51

It would also be great if @adamhcaldwell could chime in about the RTP "recipe" etc.
-
Maybe @Than_Bogan has an interesting thought or two, I know that he went down this rabbit hole in the past.

I used to ski on traditional double boots for a long time, then I went to a Reflex white cuff front and a Radar HRT rear. Now I'm making the shift to an RTP behind my Reflex front boot.
This is based on the advice that @drew gave me.
I will update you guys on how this goes.
Let me know if you guys have any tips.

@BlueSki My dad said "He borrows his brother's ski and looks like he's gonna run 41, what's the deal?"
If he keeps up that type of lean angle then he's going places.
