But I come to skitalk because you all just might have some ideas, while everybody else thinks I'm just damn crazy...
I love post-season 'corn carving.' And this year has been a banner harvest... I'm closing in on 100k vert.
I'm super happy with my b/c setup; Technica Zero G Tour Pro boots (130 with spoilers) and Augment Free Tour 95 skis (180, 95 waist, 21 radius) and their ability to carve great GS turns...
But I'm a certified 'carveaholic' and want to maximize my "arcs to uphill effort" ratio.
My go-to carving skis during season are Line Blades and Blizzard FIS Slalom skis. I have a pair of Waymakers and love the way both these skis carve tight radius in post-season conditions, but the weight...
So I'm thinking of stripping the plates off an old pair of slaloms and mounting a pair of AT bindings on them...
I should have mounted Shifts on my Blades but the concept was so new (two years ago) that I wanted to play with fore/aft placement on Blades so mounted demo bindings instead. I'm also thinking of getting new pair Blades with shifts and/or remounting old pair with AT bindings.
What do you all think? And what other options might I have...?
Specifically I'm wondering what aggressive sub 16m carving ski is the lightest? Let me know your ideas and thoughts... (Other than I should be a charter member of 'carveaholic's anonymous.')
