There is no good snow in Maryland. There are small bumps close to me in PA. and I've skied a fair amount in NH and CN. Love "Wildcat" in North Conway.

I made the switch to parabolics. They are edge skis and I had to relearn, but they are much better in powder and quicker to turn. I had my K2 205's for years. Much faster than the parabolics and much more exciting down the fall line. It's funny, you never really skied an edge but you always felt like you were on one. (haHa)

Those bindings of yours would probably be welcome at the ski museum. Just joking.
How do keep those exposed springs from losing their tension and elasticity?
