Way to go, Mike!
If you keep improving at that rate, you may be spending more on ski equipment than you do on your Spyder!

Congratulations on your promotion to more advanced skis. Just for curiosity, I pulled my old skis out to see if I could do a comparison with your new ones. Mine are antique and there is not much to compare. They are Dynastar MaxRL 180CM. No indication of side cut specs but they are Kevlar Fiber with "Aircell Core". Manufacture date is 01-2002. Before buying these skis, I had Olin CVEs 210CM from the early 70s. I bought the Dynastars when parabolic skis were fairly new. A friend owned a ski shop and I rented them just to see what all the new rage for parabolic was all about. He set me up with brand new skis and bindings. Told me if I liked them he would apply the rental fee towards the purchase price. After skiing for a day, I called him and told him to "write it up"....."not bring the skis back". He was a good salesman..... Anxious to hear about your reaction to your new skis..... Jim

Your new ski is very narrow under foot ( the 71 mm number) and is probably a lower radius #. That type of ski really likes to be on edge ( carved turns ) . They will be " lively"
New skis are kool

Will do ….. My earlier " new " ski ...the Elan wave flex … was listed at 13.2 radius ….. The new Head's that I'm waiting for has a deeper sidecut probably in the high 11's or low 12's ….. The head's will be stiffer also.( at least what I was told )…… Due to my " advanced age " … I was looking for a very easy turning ski, and the Elan's are that and more , however my speed is also picking up so a stiffer model may work out better, less chatter, better hold ( theses are 170 cm the Elan's were 160 )……. I'll keep posting , look for my Day # 19 - thread ….. Mike

Well my 14RT is pretty well mod'ed out now. So except for gas and maintenance I'm done spending money on it...… and the way I figure it, I'M WORTH IT ….. Mike
