It does help to have a bright topsheet in case you lose a ski.
Guides really love it if you lose a ski in the middle of an uncontrolled slope and dig around for half an hour. Go ahead, ask me how I know. (Not heli - Silverton.)
You actually have a supply of unicorn horns??
Exactly.I have found a few skis that fit the bill for me and where I ski (Advanced and Expert terrain in Colorado/Utah/NM/Wy Resorts). If I skied somewhere else then im positive my choices would be different.
Always but the red skis. Red skis are the best.

I ask(some of) those questions to nearly every customer that comes in the store. I usually don't have to ask all of them, and some times I can get the answers I need from just a few of the answers.Phil:
I would love it if the person selling skis asked me all or even a few of the questions you highlight above. However, I wonder how many people really want to answer all these questions or think those questions are relevant? What is your (or any others who sell or have sold skis on a regular basis) experience with this? I suspect there are a subset of people who really just want the "best ski" so they have ended up on that Bonafides, Soul 7s, Enforcers, or whatever is currently the hot ski in the industry.
So, do you ever exaggerate the level of the ski when you know the customer will be happy on an intermediate ski but wants to believe they are more advanced than they actually are? i.e. sell them the mid/upper level intermediate ski that's best for them even though they think they need a ski that's best for a higher level advanced/expert skier?

you mean "I'm an expert but i dont ski bumps?"
There is a differnence between don't and can't.Hey, I resemble that remark!
You mean, like the difference between cause and effect?There is a differnence between don't and can't.
As for heli/cat skiing, anything more than 100-110 that ensures you will simply plane across the surface isn't really the essence of powder skiing is it?
