Dumbest thing a shop guy has ever said to you....

send me a video of yourself skiing steep, icy bumps, a steep, icy groomer, and skied off woods with thin cover on prophet 90s and ill break it down and tell you every spot where youd benefit from a narrower waist. those 3 scenarios are pretty common in the east and more or less all mountain, since they avoid the more specialized areas of park, powder, and racing.

im not saying you cant ski them all over, im just saying youre doing yourself more harm than good by making it a one ski quiver. id much rather have, say, gotamas for pow, pipe cleaners for everyday, and a used, fairly short slalom race ski for hardpack/icy shitty days and for non-park skiing in general

if you have to have only one ski and you live in the east, it just makes more sense to go a little narrower in the waist- something like 80-85 in a twin. 90 is definitely fat when half the mountain half the season is snowless.
 
"Mount at +4 what? Inches or CM?"

"Mounting at anything +4 or more means you can only use the skis in the park. Skis arent designed to be mounted so far forward."
 
ok so im at comor and im getting my skis are being mounted and i say to the guy i want my skis mounted true center. then he says to me u mean true center between the regular mounting paint and i was like no true center in the middle of the ski. this went on for like 5 minutes and when he finally get it hes like thats going to look really wierd kid and u wont be able to ski on them but i can do that for u.
 
Shop guy: "If you wanna ski like a snowboarder, get these" (points to the elizabeths)

Me: "But I wanna ski like a skier"

Shop guy: " Well you know what I mean"

Me: "No, not really"
 
I have 93mm underfoot for the East and I love them so don't knock it til you've tried it. The width busts through crud like no other too. And I can carve down the icy steeps as well with them. So there! hahaaha
 
ok that's just fucking stupid, if i were you i woulda bitch slapped him across the face, getting those not center mounted defeats the entire fucking purpose, and ruins the way the ski is made
 
Walk into the shop....
