Well I got my ski and day early and had a blast. I have only put 2 hrs. on it but this ski rocks. I tried the 1200r last year that my buddy had and this ski rides much cleaner and seems to handle much better. Im probably going to learn the ski for a while and do little mods as I go so I can really see what kind of difference they make. I was worried to decals would look cheezy but I like it, so does everyone else here. My question for you guys is how much speed do you think I losing by riding here in the mountains at deepcreek. It is 2,700 feet elevation with heavy winds. The ski still felt quick but it wasnt like the bay down in ocean city. Also knowing these conditions what would be your guys first couple mod's? Thanks again for all of your advice.
