Super firm conditions at Belleayre yesterday. A guy on the lift told me "I think you're the only one having fun here today."
It really is remarkable what a sharp pair of SL skis can do in otherwise brutal conditions.

Plenty of skiing left in Utah and Colorado
Just sayin’
Thanks to @textrovert for posting this in the Tahoe thread. Come out here and bring your FIS for some Spring Skiing! I will be on my Rossi Hero Elite FIS SL 157s.
Season extensions:
- Northstar April 30th
- Heavenly May 7th
- Kirkwood May 14th
My new Hero Athlete FIS SL have a cross-hatch pattern along the entire base edge on both skis. Does this cause anything or should I send them out for a grind and base / edge reset next season ?

I was putting storage wax on several skis yesterday and just handling the Rossi FIS is like wielding a super high-quality kitchen knife. You just know it means business !
Because of this in my case:Why are skis getting storage wax now? This is wrong. It’s not even April.
Mine came from the factory in excellent condition. Surprised both me and the shop that I use (although it surprised them less - they've apparently been seeing great consistency from the Rossi FIS skis). Flat base, properly set (and consistent edges) and a decent grind pattern. If I was racing, I would have re-ground them, but for recreational skiing, it was a coat of wax, a quick sharpen, and good to go.Did you check the tune already? Mine came at a perfect 0.5/3 from the factory.
Come to Tahoe and ski--we have metric tons of snow many meters deep!
