Park - It's a tough choice but I'd have to go with my 270cm Fischer Jump World Cup, take off on the first kicker of the triple line and land in the thug zone of the third jump.

Midwest other = Death cookies, glare ice, rocks, mud, death... Puts some hair on your chest.



My favorite ski for those days is "cringing as I destroy my kartels".

reading through this makes me think.

Honestly everybody should go to their local rental shop and demo some top end piste/slalom skis. seriously it is amazing how much fun you have railing around doing super short turns on sharp edges.

dont get me wrong usually i smash around on some mid fat stiff skis with virtually no edges because they are versatile but nothing beats taking the spitfire pros out for a day on the hardpack.
