Hi Gary,
I can only say, that skiing in the Toronto area, we're not likely to get much deep stuff...especially this winter (the warmest ever recorded here.)They make good waterskis, though, given the rain and slush. I can say that hundreds of school kids churned up the snow yesterday so it felt like skiing on 5 inch deep Tide detergent. As close to float as we get here in man-made-snow land. But I'm bringing them to Fernie just in case.
I have the demo binding on them so I can't shift them. I'll just hope for snow. On hard pack they are still fun, but being 88 at the waist, they are more of a gs turning ski. Pretty slow in the bumps to turn, requiring lots of energy, but any loose snow and they plane on top of it.
The kids love the snakes on the top sheet. I get regular ratings of: "wicked, awesome, sssweet," and the occassional "Mr., how come there's snake heads on your skis???"
