Heading to Berkshire East for 2 GS races this Friday assuming no cancellations (Which after the recently announced cancellation of the Hochebirge... ) to give it a go in the wickets.
I'll be rocking the 30m skis, for good or for bad as the next option is 14m skis. I will bring the 14m just in case the course setter decides to go crazy tight on the set, but really hoping to see what I can do on real GS skis for the first time in ages. I was talking to a friend from my college racing days, he has an old pair of race stock K2s (Derbys, risers, etc...) that he measured for me - ~75m sidecut. If I could make skis like that work in a GS, how could the 30m skis of today be any worse. Right?
