Was he on the e-Rally?Here is an update after a long while. I've been mostly skiing on my Enforcer 100s, off-piste, with the Rallies as my skis for firm conditions (icy days, etc). This Thursday I went up to Tahoe, in what was going to be firm conditions at least early on. So I took both. I only skied the Rallies.
As I am standing on the lift line, I hear from behind "nice skis". It wasn't clear that it was for me, but as I turn my head, this guy is looking at me with a huge smile, on some head skis. They look very different, but he tells me "they are the same, but these are newer". So, we wind up talking on the lift. He tells me that his friend is an instructor and recommended that he buys these to improve his skiing but also because he has a bad knee and is recovering from an ankle injury, so he is cruising groomers and taking it easy. He absolute loves these. We compared the tips: his newer model has a similar tail and a smoother front.
Anyways, things softened up later in some areas, to some extent. So, I started stepping out, but decided to stay on the rallies. Here is a video with some samples of the fun day I had:
Alpine Meadows with the Rallies, Jan 13 2022.
Took the Rallies for a "groomer" day, and it wound up softening up off-piste :)
In the morning they were a hoot on the groomers, I felt pretty comfy in chalky/firm bumps a couple hours later, and as the sun heated the south facing bowl on the backside I took them there. I like the Enforcers better in those conditions, but it was fun to take the rallies in there and work a little harder. What a versatile carver! And I would imagine the new generation is even more versatile with a less hooky tip. Good stuff!
Maybe the upcoming o-Rally
There's an Irish joke in there somewhereMaybe the upcoming o-Rally
