Don't be afraid! So capable and at a price point that doesn't make your eyes water too badly.
Nah, but thanks!
I do this for good reason, and it ain't fear.
(Gad, some skis just tempt me too. The Augments, and others - sheesh.)
Still, there"s been just one unheard of brand after another heavily pushed/reviewed
enthusiastically hither and yon, and here on skitalk; and most of them turn out to be just
distractions, for me - sort of "meh" skis, or skis for other sorts of skiers.
Lustis, for example, have not gotten favorable reactions from the folks
I tend to listen to most. Same with a succession of others skis and brands.
And most of the brands and skis I get to demo, turn out to be a bust - for myself.
So I've learned to ignore lots of brands, to keep good track of others.
There are so many skis, so little time, and so many new skis,
way more than I can or want to keep track of, or demo, and skis are so expensive.
If a ski or brand shines at a demo, on the other hand, I pay attention thereafter.
I've pretty much demoed 30 to 45 skis every year for some decades, until this past year;
so I've got enough skis on my plate, so to speak - as the poor folks here on skitalk
can probably attest to.
This has also been true for many newly introduced brands over the years.
I usually wait until some people in one of the shops I hang out at recommend them strongly,
as something that shines for them - or until I get to demo them.
