I'm still skiing on my old 203cm Rossignol 3G Kevlar GS skis. Shoot, I just finally got a pair of the Salomon Force9 skis I always wanted at the ski swap last year for $40! And the other regular alpine skis in my quiver are my old 195 and 200 K2 TNC's. But I have to admit to trying the forbidden fruit of the shaped ski. Got into tele skiing last year, and fell in love with some Atomic TM-22's. Wow! I remember when shaped skis came out and they were all the rave because they "make you a better skier". I still don't believe they make you a better skier. The old, long, skinny straight skis make you a better skier. But the shaped skis do make you _ski_better_! So, you can buy skis that were $500 10 years ago for $25 at a garage sale. Why can't I buy a 10 year old kayak for $50?!?
