Tell them that you meant your neighbour, not the delivery driver's neighbour.

No, that's an "another foot of powder" dance. |

I am a Brit so did that conversion. A few women I know who would be UK 61/2 are in 23 Salomon shells, but I bow to your professional knowledge. |

Interesting, the 23 Irony shell is 277mm.
I would think you are in a 22.0 or even a 21.0 shell. A 23 might be quite big. Are the bindings on a rail sytem? If so you really don't need to worry. BTW even if they do mount the bindings on the skis, you will still need to check the forward pressure with your boots in the bindings. |

and the survey was of people who had skied in the last five years - a lot has changed in that time. Someone who last skied three years ago is not representative of current trends.

It depends who makes it, what machines they use, the water, the additives, and how it's groomed.. It can be more robust and consistent in changing conditions. At it's best it is like super fine packed powder that holds an edge like crazy, but doesn't rut or mogul despite the old schooler's best efforts. |

I hope those people in the photo are on rental skis.

Around here in the Mid West, the ski hills have started opening, and the ten day looks reasonable. I haven't been yet. The limited runs are full of boxes, rails, and park rats. We will get above 11'C on Thanksgiving (Thursday). Historically this happens once every thirteen years, but has occurred three times in the last thirteen years. It might be a good year for the US, but who knows. One thing is for sure, Els or no Els, There's more luck involved than anything else.
