those RC Elans ^^ were some of my first skis.

the Blizzard V20's put me on varsity as a freshman and brought me to the state slalom finals.

Nice quiver...

This thread and the thread on TGR are quality and I though I was mad skiing blue runs on my 210 classic XC racing skis which don't just have no edges, but are tapered so the 'sidecut' is in reverse!

That pic of you getting the skis a little sideways in the tight spot reminded me of a song that always popped into my head back in the days when I would be skiing on the longest GS skis I could find. Sometimes I found myself needing to slow down as I came up on other skiers on a narrow chute, or threading my way between hay-stack like moguls, or picking my way through trees that had unexpectedly: gotten too dense, or making a tight turn between a huge ice mound and a cliff. The line was "Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around." I should mention that at the time I was on long skis because of my need for speed, not because I had the requisite skills.
