Masters GS skis: glossary request ('cheater', 'tweener', 'masters', etc)

What are you currently free skiing on?

Mostly Stormrider 102s in 182 with a little 178 Mirus Cor fun mixed in. Also have a pair of 176 M-Pro 85s but they don’t quite click for me (but prob need a tune).

I have some bad habits from skiing straight skis as a kid but like longer skis…

You might be well served to get a pair of mid to wide carvers as well. I found that I gained skills much faster staying in carve mode on narrower free skis vs. playing around on the fat ones in the trees all the time. A Titan, Deacon, Montero, etc would be a nice addition along with the race skis to help develop skills while not on the course.

After my enlightenment described in the general skiing thread, the previous 4 or 5 pages of discussion regarding the many GS manifestations, especially for the U14-U16 Juniors, makes so much more sense!!

Wair, in order to get better, I should get more skis? Sounds good to me…

I’ve been waffling on picking up a Montero AX.
