A favorite part of skiing for me is working my way in and under bands of cliffs, finding hidden shots, then linking together a few turns on a steep pitch. Granted, I'm only at Mt. Baker, not Cham, so these sections are limited to a few hundred feet, but it is still fun beyond words. (My latest find is traversing below the patrol shack on Pan Dome to get under the Gunner's Bowl cliffs.)
Now here's a ski designed specifically for skiing steeps with reliability: stiff flex, gradual rocker, an almost nonexistent sidecut. Anyone been on a pair and care to comment? I'm probably not at a level where they are warranted, but I'd love to try them to see.
