Ok, I'm feeling like 5 years went by without me noticing. I probably have about 70-90 days on my Bigs, and they aren't all that "big" anymore.
I'm blue-eyed, 175lbs, 5'10". I liked the versatility of the 188 Bigs. I demoed the 193 bandit xxx and skied for a day on the G41. At the time, I was running a lot and only weighed about 155. The new weight isn't all fat, I am stronger. When I was 155lbs and trying out skis, I thought the G41 was a lot of ski. I'm not a powerful, racer-type skier. I use gravity instead of muscle. I set my dins to 11 and I don't really ever eject, but then I'm totally sweet and I never fall.
Seems like everyone is on shorter skis. I have a pair of fruity 180 carving skis. They are way too short. I feel like I'm on snowlerblades. I've always liked a long ski.
I used to get 60 days a year. Now it's more like 10 - 15.
I have freerides on my bigs. I might just keep that setup and mount alpine only, or get a whole new set up. I really have liked the freerides.
Considering Bros - which ones? Gotamas - what year/size? Pocket Rockets (too soft?) or whatever the current model is, B4s, and I'm a satisfied Dynastar customer.
I'd like to hook something up with year end discounts...
Edit: I screwed up a homonym. It's fixed.
