I can ski on them just fine, but I think it will be fun to try something different, and maybe it will help improve my skiing so I look like the guy in the Volkl promo picture. When I demo'd skis at Blue's demo day last year, when it was free, it was a warmish, mashed potato, push-pile kind of day. I immediately noticed a difference as soon as I got on something that was stiffer and wider than my beginner skis, which were Head Primal Instincts. I was more confident in my ability to hold my line and cut through the mess, and so was able to charge harder and felt a lot stronger. I demo's the Rossi Experience HD in 75, which was okay, and then tried the 88 which I immediately loved. I moved over to Volkl and tried the RTM86 and liked them as much or even a little more than the 88. Then I tried something by Soloman in a 95 width but it was a little to wide for me that day. I decided to jump on the best deal I could find on either the Rossi 88 or RTM86, and did when Camelback put their used demos on sale in March. 1 Quote

That's important! Or when the top sheet designs form into one when you put your skis together! Best thing ever, both sets of my blizzards have that. 1 Quote

eaf Posted December 24, 2017 Report Posted December 24, 2017 How are the crowds usually on xmas eve? In other words, what's the forecast for tomorrow? I'm thinking whether to go to BM or not... Quote

There were tons of people in the stores today. I'm thinking if they continue shopping, I may have a chance? Quote
