Skied Pico today. Conditions were great. I ended up sidestepping into and hiking up a closed trail and was surprised at how much natural snow they had. ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/IMG_20101218_140121.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/IMG_20101218_140121.jpg) ---

Hit up mount slow today, not bad but started to get scraped off at the end of the day. Nobody was on the mountain even though it was a demo day, which was useless because all they had were park skis and garbage mid-fats, don’t they realize we are on the east coast and some people actually carve out here? ---

There was noone at pico either it was nice. Fat skis have a place, I ride a fairly fat ski but the majority of my skiing is done in the woods where I want some extra beef in my skis to deal with less than ideal snow conditions. But I agree the demo company should realize all their customers don’t want a big ski because with their type of riding a narrower stiff carving ski is much more beneficial. Especially this early in the season where 90% of the trails open are groomers. ---

^I agree that fatter skis have their purpose, thats why I have a 92 underfoot for backcountry/pow days. My term of garbage was a little harsher than I intended. The other problem was that there were only 5-6 companies represented and really only Volkl and Head were skis I was interested in checking out since Fisher and Atomic weren’t there. ---

My all the time ski is 99 under foot. But I got em in a somewhat shorter length and they are tele skis so naturally they are a bit lighter than an alpine ski, which translates into actually a pretty playful ski. I think I’m goin to Belleayre this Sunday. Mygirlfriends dad is gettin us free tickets cuz he works there. ---

My skis are 86mm which is perfect for what I do. Park, woods, etc. My next skis will be wider though. Also, I haven’t tuned my edges in 2 years. Dull edges are better for rails. :rofl ---

Just got back from JP with JohnnyK. Conditions were good with minimal ice. We even ran into a snow squall for about 20 miles on the ride home which was enough to cover the roads and make police fishtail like a stunter.
