Replying to Buyer's remorse for skis.
How about it? Anyone ever regret buying the skis they bought? That happened to me for the first time this season. After being on the same 1080s since 2000, and a first generation Pocket Rocket, I decided to retire the PRs (actually I sold them to a hot hot girl on the chairlift for $200, fuck). So anyway after demoing and talking to reps, I finally got some Volkl Karma 177 from the Volkl rep (after much hassling). I loved them for most of the season, but they werent nearly as good as the Pocket Rockets. Now after finishing the season, I hate them. Too heavy, too stiff for my skiing, just too cumbersome. I could throw 720s on my pocket rockets like they were nothing, now I'm having trouble keeping my shit together on any air, even a 360 with a grab. It pisses me off, and I wish I would have never bought them.
