Everyone , me included , is always posting hi-end skis ...
But who remembers the '' MID '' craze ??
To get out of the short skis void , manufacturers created the '' MID '' that are kind of similar in length to the parabolic ones ridden today but without the hourglass shape .
I fond , this week , a Dynastar Maverick ... maybe 1980 ??
170 cm and clean as the day it slid out of the factory .
My interest was the bindings .... Salomon 444 ... If the 202 on the Blizzard were not good anymore , I was planning to switch them for the 444 .
Obviously I will never ski the Maverick : too short and I do not want to drill them again.
So they will go in my little collection : I went up in the chair with a girl from a ski team who had some Omeglass similar in size and general shape to the Maverick . Obviously the Omeglass are racing and shaped ... but I wonder what she would have made of the Maverick ... could she skis them as well as the Omeglass ?
Sometimes we can be surprised !
