Voile claims that all of there skis are designed for powder. In all the time I put on my vectors there was only one incident that the ski didn't rise up like I expected it to, and I am a little heavier than the recommended weight for that ski. It would be nice to have more wl options in that width r...

As someone who's broken more than one old woodie it makes me think that maybe they built a little more durability into the modern skis accounting for the extra weight.

No steel edges must be a big part of it. They may have also lost some moisture content over the years, especially if stored indoors.

I guess if you want to get out with a group and ski whatever you find, it makes sense to go alpine. I ski by myself usually and only ski what's good for me, so tele is fine.

Feeling antsy? Ready for snow? It's the only way I can survive Houston summers. Going to an ice skating rink helps, too!!! Good thing is that the same skill needed to carve skates can be transferred to carving skis and visa versa. I went to a skate rink a couple years ago and thought my rental skat...
