Hmmm... Can't remember that happening actually. Not in 15 years probably. There's no plan for it. Likely the basics would be so lacking there's no shortage of things to work on.Current instructors (that means you @James ) what is the current plan if a student shows up on say some early 90's 'straights' and want a lesson? Will the staff send someone out on the proper gear and show him how it's done? If not, why not?
The chances of such a person wanting an advanced lesson are low. But no doubt there's ski areas where this happens.
Seein as you have a quiver of 200 now, 2 for you is like one for most. I'm sure plenty of people had two or three. But they weren't really very different in design.had a quiver of 2 from the later 70's through the 80's. (
I think the upshot is if one needed a special ski to ski say powder, outside of maybe heli skiiing, you couldn't ski. So buying one is like a billboard advertisement saying you sucked. Did Alf Engen use a special ski?
Look at the reaction to shaped skis. They were called "Cheaters" for awhile.
