The pro's get to do all kinds of things to those boots, i doubt very much if any of the boots those WC skier use are anywhere near stock
Me I thot the Salomon were cool probably becuz i had no idea any better and they did deal with my foot issues
Re: spancership, I remember a quote from a climber in an outside artical back in the day of the hard men, to the effect that if someone would foot the bill to climb everest he would would summit carrying up their waffle ironLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Hahaha. That sounds about right. I think one of the reasons we all liked them so much was that whenever they broke there always seemed to be spares around the shop to cannibalize for parts. In hindsight, those "spares" were almost certainly just the leftovers from other broken pairs.

Old farts eh? Toni Sailer's, very early fiberglass with 3 hollow tubes running lengthwise. Mounted with OG Look Nevada's. Shredded mine trying to cross the snoq. pass bypass road at Ski Acres. Somebody graveled the road, inch of new snow covered this & thought I could easily ski right to the car. Huge shower of sparks followed me as I took one high speed turn across thousands of tiny rocks and eventually concrete. Hated to see them end that way but wtf?

^^^ How are PSIA Instructors and Golf carts the same?
They all look exactly alike and only go 15 MPH.

While I wholeheartedly agree with both of you, you’ve got to admit that the guys/gals on the demo team can ski.

I'd like to try my old Dynastar Course Sl or GS again. The old "Chicken Hearts". Loved those skis. Think I had the SL in a 203, the GS in a 207.

Another Rossi Axiom vote. What were they 130-110-120? Autopilot chargers.
Solly X-Scream AK Rocket 200cm. So soft, so smooth. Make you look and feel like Dick Durrance, every turn.
Atomic Atlas 182. 115 underfoot. As long as you are skiing steep trees, it’s the best ever made.

Every single guy in my shop had a pair of those 9.0's when they came out, they were hot shit.
I'm changing my thinking on this: things like Flexons and Pivots are still here for a reason, maybe the more important question is what's something that just will not die for no good god damn reason? Snowblades?
Thanks, I'm using that.

Extinct Skis and Gear
Anyone interested in taking their lives into their own hands with a bsl of 326 or so in the SLC area lemme know. I’d be happy to lend them out. They are hilariously fun, Endlesswinter clocked me at 80 on these things a few years ago. Terrifying.
