  1. Not to hijack here, but @ALPJr; I bought a VTR from Dave S! Loved that ski. Took me from slow 15’s all the way through -28(34mph). Probably didn’t hurt that I was skiing with Dave 2 or 3 times a week then either. Bought a Phantom from Dave also.
  2. random thoughts on survey... Q26 about attending an in person testing event? interesting! questions about current ski and future ski... I have been very fortunate in that my last 2 skis (Syndicate A2, and Mapple T2), were given to me. Future ski? I'm thinking I would like to take a trip to Trophy and see what Mr Caldwell might suggest!
  3. to glom on a bit to what @Horton was saying... most of my course skiing is done behind an older 196, PP, no z-box. Even though I always want more, I'm generally happy any time I get beyond 2 ball at 32off. Most often my tournament scores are within a buoy or 2, of what I do in practice. Often times I'll ski better at a tournament than I did during the week skiing behind PP.
  4. My disclaimer: I've only snow-skied in the northeast, mostly on the molehills in central NY and I'm a hacker water skier (rarely run 32).

    Anyway, years ago a water/snow ski friend of mine and I quite often would try to figure out; what's better, water or snow? One day, riding a chairlift, we were talking about how we couldn't wait to get our boats out and start waterskiing. It was then it dawned on us, never had we been sitting in a boat looking forward to hitting the slopes. Our debate was over!
