Ok, so I received my RENOUN Atlas' last night and got the bindings mounted this morning, which gave me enough time to do about 5 runs before I had to come back home for an appointment. As you will see from the photo, they are the 90cm Atlas' (actually really they're the 170's, but the foreshortening of the selfie makes them look like 90's), attached to moi in my retro one-piece (eat your heart out

So I did take them down the green run to the blue lifts on their first outing, and didn't much like them. I then took them up on
@kimberlin's old tennis shoe run, her
and since I often ski with her, I knew what that was - a long easy groomed blue with only a couple of steep pitches. I was a bit underwhelmed but admittedly I skied it a bit more conservatively than we usually do. Well, this wasn't too magic although
@KingGrump had predicted accurately what they would feel like
It was at this juncture that I spotted a potential major problem with the skis: the top skin graphics didn't line up: if I switched the skis around, the fancy flashes of red lines would seem to flow from right ski to left ski as per the later photo. Had I offended the RENOUN gods? I switched them anyway, so that I would look a fraction more cool, notwithstanding my retro one piece, and my Dynastar poles from 1982 (BTW, contrary to what you might believe from the photo, I am not in fact pregnant, but I did stuff a hat into said suit 'cos it was too warm to wear.)

With an apology to the aforesaid gods, I took them to the top of the mountain, and pointed them down the steep groomers up there, engaged the afterburners, and skied the fall line. WHOO-(beeping)-HOO!!!! - together with various NSFW exclamations - now we're talking! I transitioned from underwhelmed to an absolute minimum of whelmed ... I managed to do a couple more runs at speed but then, wouldn't you know it, I had to foreshorten my day and go back home to meet the HVAC guy. Methinks these skies are made to be hammered down the runs, and I promise the RENOUN Gods that I will not mistreat them again by skiing them anything other than they deserve

it was just like it was before, maybe from the beginning. No not green, not blue, not black, nor red, nor brown, nor purple, or orange...da..di.da di da. No from the beginning I always took my new skies out into WHITE. And now that you mention it, green was always areas where green conifers are growing that are immobile so the creature brain quickly stayed away instead enjoying the happiness within white crystalline water.
