More skis Bandit? :lol:

How many pairs have you got now? And what's so special about K2's She's Back? :D

Work it out for yourself Ally:

I can't remember how many pairs I have :shock: but the She's Back are to replace my Stockli's which are almost worn out. I'll get the bindings switched.

Tony, I see that the user level suggested by Evo for these skis is Beginner/Intermediate. Should be just up my street then :D

Yes apparently, I too have bought beginner/intermediate skis, (according to the web sites!). I guess that is why I could only make 98.92 kph on wet snow.

BANDIT! I traded in my 210 Blizzard Firebirds in Colorado, after only 26 years of usage, and I felt then that they were only just worn in. How is it possible to wear out skis?

I love my Stockli's but the edges are very thin, and I keep getting core shot damage. Local shop says 1 more service then they are through. :( Last time I got them to fill the core shot and not do a service. I think they take too much material off personally. Need Hover Skis :wink:

How many days have you skied on them bandit ? edges should last a tad longer then you have had them have they been over edged ?

No idea of the number of days Wickers, but I started using them in 2006. The ski shop might be a bit heavy handed with the edge grinding as you say!
I keep on getting core shots now, and it's odd because the base material always seemed very tough. What are you using to repair core shots?

What is 'lightweight' in K2 language? I was eyeing a deal on GotBack for touring, but I was told I would be better off just changing bindings on my Auras. And the rumour has it that they make the heaviest skis on the market.
