    Rock Ski appreciation haiku thread

    The skis we love to hate. We need them but treat them badly. They deserve better. What are yours?

    Not that I hate you
    But sharks lurk here at low tide
    Today we still ski

        Powder whispers fade,
        Blizzard rustler ten must dance,
        Avoid a rocks glance.

            Where we like to ski

            The rocks are omnipresent

              Razor sharp edges
              As fast as can be
              When ripping early season ribbons
              It's the ski for me

                    Beautiful topsheets

                    Bases are super fucked

                    Early snows are best
