    Rock Ski appreciation haiku thread

    The skis we love to hate. We need them but treat them badly. They deserve better. What are yours?

    Movement Goliath

    Beauty of action
    Angry proud rough scars abound
    Sparking sacrifice

    Not that I hate you
    But sharks lurk here at low tide
    Today we still ski

    Powder whispers fade,
    Blizzard rustler ten must dance,
    Avoid a rocks glance.

    Razor sharp edges
    As fast as can be
    When ripping early season ribbons
    It's the ski for me

    Early snows are best
