You can argue that every ski has an audience, but if the audience for a ski is "the skier with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion," then that argument starts to look a little silly.
Exactly. Beautifully put.This attitude of not offending manufacturers will lead to consumers, like me, not trusting any ski reviews, which btw, was one factor in the demise of ski magazines.
Right.Just saying everything is great doesn't help with picking one over the other. Nor is it very credible, IMO.
