I have a Mapple-Siege, circa '99, which I skied until a couple of years ago (grey clear coat so you could see the carbon fiber, with Andy's signature in gold on the lower half). I tried an '06 SIXAM a few times, but could just had a heck of a time trying to get it on edge (looking back, that might have been due to those Bio bindings more than the ski that gave me problems). I finally upgraded to a '10 Elite with Prodigy bindings a couple years ago, and that has worked for me quite well. I still miss that old beast sometimes. I remember it being a bit twitchy and pretty unforgiving of mistakes, particularly unforgiving about stepping on the front to slow down, OTF anyone? Once used to it, though, it was like I just had to think what I wanted to do, and it reacted. It was fun!
