    You're right. The Roc 550was the GS ski and the ST650 was the slalom; those names/models later changed to the SM and ST Comp respectively.

    No, iceman. Tell me you weren't. Tell you were not googling for these gameshow answers. Well, okay, I was trying to find the answer to the K2 slalom question myself. That one had me stumped.

    What ski boots required a spray can to get them on your feet?

    Who made skis in the 80s that changed flex with the temperature?
