You miss the point. Hirscher may be held back by skis in GS but he is on the podium an awful lot. That's quite a testament to the relative importance of technique and gear. (See how often Head's other GS skiers take a spot on the podium.) Sure, we'd all love to see if he could displace Ligety by switching skis, but remember these guys are competing at stratospheric levels.

Expert skiers can control speed on icy black terrain, cutting round slalom turns, leaving two tracks. This is a high level skill and requires strength, training and talent. This is beyond but only a handful, few demo team members are able to ski these turns. These are fair, realistic categories, without any embellishment of abilities.

In the context of early season man-made snow, no. Its about the skills not the skis.
There isn't enough snow there for a wide ski!
