Off piste skis

B3's are no longer proper fat skis, probably midfat, these are proper fat skis...

Ross, get riding them quick, they will soon be old hat )

Anyway, skinny are the new fats, or had you not heard :D

I have that base covered as well Bandit..

I thought I had shown everyone in the world that would look my shiny new Vists?

I knew when I posted that there'd be some "bozo the clown's feet" ski that were wider than they were long and someone, probably in Verbier, would be trying to make anyone without at least 100mm feel inadequate. At some point this has got to be a ***** substitute :D

You see this is where I get a bit lost!

Generally if you use a piece of new equipment that makes something far easier you would be regarded as 'soft core' or some similar term yet when it comes to fat skis the opposite seems to be the case. I just don't get it. )

Only since the city boys moved in! :( I spent 8 winters in Verbier and went back last April after a 6 year absence. Talk about a town losing its soul.

City boys, you mean bankers, lawyers and the like, so you could say it has gained lots of ****souls
:D

unless it's just what it seems and it's not very hard core at all ? )

I did a season skiing all terrain on slalom skis, I may go back to it, purely for the amusement of turning up next to would-be hard core clown at the top, or better still bottom, of a steep and deep with skinny skis to their fat ones, utterly hilarious :D

most boys skiing 100m from the piste on their 100mm skis fail to realise that on the other side of the valley after a 4 hour skin up there's a guy in his seventies on a pair of 70mm skis on something much steeper and deeper.

on a similar vein, just how many pair of endorphins, BD factors, axons, freerides, dukes etc are sold for which the owner doesn't have nor will ever get/use skins? I'll bet it's a sizeable percentage :D

But does he look "steezy" :lol:

I am pretty sure you would get sick of people asking you where the powder was, thankfully in Scotland you don't really get chairlifts or people willing to be sociable enough with a stranger to make that comment.
