I've had a few more days on my 188 R99s at Squaw and out in UT and they continue to put a smile on my face. Great on groomers, predictable in variable snow and crud/chalk, and a safe ski to bring out on any day with no new snow or new terrain opening. I skied them back to back with some 175 GS race skis and the edge hold was the same, only the turning radius, edge to edge time (due to ski width) and chatter at high speed were noticeably different. The R99s were also significantly easier on my legs of course given the much wider sweet spot.
Three fundamentals of every extreme skier, total disregard for personal saftey, amphetamines, and lots and lots of malt liquor......-jack handy
