Im not kidding you I had to convince my mom to give me her credit card at 1 in the morning yesterday to buy skis and she tried to talk me into buying a pair of shorter skis (they werent a cheaper pair she was 100 percent ok with me buying wets) becasue she didnt understand the rocker profile was more extreme then the hill she owns rentals
