That brings up the topic of the constant talk of continuous ski improvement. Nate set the record at 2.5@43 about 10 years ago. Bumped it by half a buoy what, maybe 6 years ago. If ski technology is constantly improving, it just proves that there is a hard limit to what is possible. Oh, just maybe Nate is still skiing on the same design from 10 years ago with current graphics. Just shooting wild thoughts.
