1. I hate myself for how high I ranked graphics. I was lucky my 2017 Vapor is a good ski because I totally bought it for the graphics, the window, and the fact that my ski partner had the lithium.
2. I ranked who is riding it low, but feel like it needed context...does it matter that someone who skis on a level I never could dream of skis it? No. But when Terry Winter or Joel Hawley who is out there coaching and being very active in the community jumps on a ski, it opens up the skis I would look at.
3. While I ranked 'brand' a little lower, given how active Brooks is in the community and with any issue I have had, he has given a lot of my brand loyalty to Radar.
4. I really hate myself for how much of a slave I am to how a ski looks.
