Gang, buried in the deep dungeon of time is some of John Howe's master piece the original "Yahoo". In the middle of the short ski fad, John saw the future and produced a light short ski with a side cut that would not be seen again until Elan started the "wasp waisted ski " revolution. Loved that ski, I actually got to ski on a prototype set that had less glass load and with my light weight it was a treat.
