I can't wait for the day that long skinny skis come back into style.

You will come to the dark side eventually...

Yeah - I'll switch over to short fatties the moment long skinnies come back into style.

Did you note my 10 year old goggles?

Do you still use rear entry boots too?

Up until 3 years ago I had Salomon "mid-entry" boots. Now I'm sporting:

That, my friend, is never going to happen. I was one of the last holdouts on the patrol to switch to shorter, shaped skis, and once I did I was sorry I waited so long. I have sooooo much more fun now on my 170 Rossi B1s. There isn't a reason in the world I can think of of why anyone would want to go back.

Not to mention that in October when we have our ski swap, the only people buying straight boards are using them to make furniture. And only if they are priced under $5.

170 B1's? Are you just a lil' guy?

Nope. Short and "stocky." 5'8" and 200+. I rip on those skis. The only time they are unstable for me is when I am straight shotting something. Which is not very often. Very fun skis!

At the camp in UT, my buddy (5'10", 195ish) was on 170 B2's and the guy running the camp told him he was "undergunned" and that his wife "skied a burlier ski than that". Nothing like having your manhood destroyed in front of everyone. Ever thought about going burlier?
