5'10 145 lbs. and when conditions were icy as shit I skied a 165 RX8, and on ice, it holds an edge like none other, and is faster than probably any ski but a race ski.

Oh they are absolutely sick on icy and groomed.  As far as Fischer, I've never had a problem with their stuff and they are pretty race bred so these skis are basically race skis, and even though I don't ski them much anymore cause I'm mostly on my fujas, when I feel the need to just go ridiculously fast on some ice or whatever it gets the job done, they hold an edge like none other.

my first setup when i got back into skiing (hyperthyroid disease took me out for a few years) was a set of fischer airstyle nt's with c610 salomons. i dread even thinking about how poor this setup was.

I wish the blends came in longer sizes, i dunno about 179 when I'm 6'2". Oh well. But my worst set-up was $99 bargain boots and used marker bindings that the brake pin would come out and the brakes wouldn't deploy. This was while I was learning to ski. I also learned how to run really fast w? ski boots.
