My point about changing technique was that if your skiing them right you won't BE out of control.
Its each to his own I guess. If you can't make them work, you can't make them work.
And obviously you wouldn't take slalom carvers off piste. Thats where a nice mid-fat or fat ski would come in handy.
These people who were having trouble in deep snow, did you know for a fact they could ski powder anyway?
Anyway don't take offence, I'm just offering another perspective on the matter.
Your right that the most important thing is fun. I'm having fun on modern ski's, Your having fun on old ski's. Its all the same.
