I know all about it , Phil , but I am willing to take a chance .
It is not a question of age ... a few years ago I was skiing a pair of Monsters with bindings on rails .
Never again as the heel on one ski decided it had enough and just pop-out .
I fell , had some scrapes and was black and blue a bit .
I supposed the difference of temperature between my house and the -28 on the slopes could have played a role .
No one goes out of here alive ... but , to be honest , I don't like pain ... but the fear of pain will not preclude my enjoyment of skiing .
A neighbor is driving an AMC Pacer during the summer ... you know how bad that car was ... he loves it !!!!!!
Now my Lamborghini and out to the tiny hill half an hour away .
