I have a 2021 Radar Vapour that I allotted approximately a dozen rides on in 2022 but I got frustrated when it didn't work for me using basically the Long/Shallow numbers. I was eventually riding it with Long/Shallow numbers, at 35 off, with a forward binding placement; however, if I was aggressive with my offside turn the tail of the ski would wash out every time. I put the ski away for the winter and and I have now just pulled it out of the closet and now I am trying to dial it in. I immediately started using the short/deep find numbers with the recommended 29" 3/4 binding placement for a 67" ski. I am still getting the washout on my offside turn. Any suggestions? For Radar's recommended fin numbers, when providing DFT numbers, are they using slot calipers or non slot calipers? Thanks

I purchased a 2021 Radar Vapour at the end of last season. I haven't skied many sets this year but when I do I consistently run my normal score of 2 @ 38 off @ 55 mph on my Goode Flextail. I am left foot forward and I have 5 sets recently on my 2021 Vapour and I can't turn the ski at 2, 4, 6. If I wait for the ski to finish the turn, it feels like I am turning an 18 wheeler, if I push on the ski the tail blows out (consistently 1.5 or 3.5 at 35 off). I have never been one to change my fin and bindings, I always put my binding (Powershells) and fin at stock and I have never had an issue with my previous 3 Goodes. Is there a sheet that someone could post explaining how, if you change your fin and bindings, the affect the movements will have on the skis performance. Any help would be appreciated.

I was home all day with Covid and was able to watch the majority of the webcast. The visual quality was phenomenal; however, I wasn’t a fan of the drone shots, in my opinion it was too far behind the action. I notice that there seemed to be some backwash issues due to the quicker drop times; however, the biggest problem with our sport is the lag time between skiers and passes and the time it takes a slalom skier to get to the money pass. Tricks has become painfully slow with only 20 seconds of action followed by a ski change, rest, approaching or leaving the course and picking up a new skier. I enjoyed the shorter time between passes and question what is the shortest rest time/drop time between passes that the skiers could handle and still compete at a high level? The mandatory shorter line length start was a welcome addition. I wonder, with multiple rounds in a day, if the format could change where at the start at the day women could start at 28 and men at 32 but by the end of the day women would start at 35 and the men at 38? How short is too short for the top 8 skiers in the world to start at after already skiing earlier in the day? We saw all the men in the runoff at the worlds start at 39 and run it. In my opinion, Freddy Winter has been the best webcast co-host. He always critiques the skiers' style and allows the weekend warriors to learn something throughout the webcast. TWBC does a great job filling airtime throughout a very long day but why not have the skiers submit a bio to be read on air/worked into the content throughout a competitors’ set instead of having to rely on how well the commentators know the athlete?

I have been using double power shells for the past 8 years. I got a new stick today and also decided to switch to a single boot with a kicker. I received my new fluid motion boot today. Trying to mount my new ride but for the life of me I can't figure out how to open the toe clamp ratchet. I am not sure if the one I received is broken or I am just stund. Any advice on how this clamp is supposed to open would be appreciated. Thanks
