And the bumps are no picnic, either, as these skis become a trampoline over the ruts. My hope is to see more skiers on equipment that will help them learn. The super-sidecut skis, which are generally much shorter and very soft, are proving to be the best option. A skier can mimic even high-end racing moves at very slow speeds. With these skis, beginners can ski like intermediates in a day or two.
Intermediates can ski advanced turns in a day.
Advanced skiers can pick up the nuances of experts in minutes. You might say that I've been at altitude too long and my brain cells all went south. Clearly, skis have no way of knowing how tall you are or what sex you are. Nor do they care. If the skis don't adequately bend, the skier should try a softer pair.
