Weathercam, £88??
a. some of my skis cost less than that. Many not much more.
b. haven't lost a ski in powder in 44 years, see no reason to start now.
Weird idea that product.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Weathercam, hee hee, bourse aux skis, that's the solution.
To be fair, my main skis were new and significantly more than £88. But in the garage I have pairs that cost, variously in euros, 35, 100 and 120. The €35 ones only lasted a couple of Infernos, but given that rentals were ~chf 40/ day, that's Ok. Lovely to ski on they were too (rossi race dept GS).

Weathercam, I've met under a new name, he's a pretty good skier (and that is an understatement), so I doubt that he skimps on his equipment, but then I do recall he is from North of the border .

Weathercam, the beasts seem quite heavy? (Relatively speaking) at least when I lifted a pair up in CH2O's emporium last night. Ndoesn't that negate the purpose?

under a new name, that's sort of the reason why I go with the TLT Radical FT - even my mate who throws money at gear can't quite bring himself to buy them, but his brother has
But he doesn't too much touring.

Hells Bells, you are far too kind
Weathercam, yep, can imagine that - it's kind of weird, the low tech system is basically a binding reduced to essentials to reduce weight at the expense of unbindingy-ness and the Beast appears to add loads of weight back in so you can charge down Alaskan spires. Not that many of the purchasing constituency will actually be doing that. (edit: I do get it I just don't know that sooo many of the buyers of the Beasts will ski that much in no fall zones...)
I think I'm confused. (not about low techs as such, lovely things). Then again, I don't really get rocker.

3 years ago I lost one of my favorite skis and never found it. I had a pair of "sutff up your pant leg" powder ribbons in my pocket but hadn't used them because they are such a PITA. I decided I needed a powder cord that was easy to use and inexpensive to make. One that didn't incorporate all of the downside issues associated with old style powder cords. The end result is a product called Pow Tales, and they sell for $19.95 usd. You can see them at ]http://powtales.com.
