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

I thought that a few snowheads might be my current 'friends'.

Mollerski, if you want to gossip there is this thread. Otherwise it might be best to keep comment on a ski in a good thread available already. Makes it easier for the next sH who wants to find out about the ski.

from seeing people I ski with use them, I think they will be a good all-rounder with the compromises on ice ..like a few all-mountain skis... but then again, if you were looking to ski hard-pack all the time, you wouldn't/shouldn'nt be looking at thse, IMV.
I think they will be ok-ish in moguls... if you can slide and bank them well enough... or just turn on the tops to help you out ..but again, you will factor in a useable technique to deal with these as the BIG PLUSES will be in deeper snow.
I think they will allow some decent speed and charges here which will be great fun,...
GS type turns in deeper snow....or s's if you prefer, IMO.
Depending on your stats, a 6 footer and 80 plus kgs should ski the 189, IMV...

Mollerski,
Wouldn't say it was the only way to go... but certainly an option. I am not sure what other lenghts they go to and I think lenght is important in TT's.
For his current stats, I'd say a 90mm plus is where you start looking..maybe wider... and around 180mm..but then he may well grow pretty quickly and wreck this thinking.
A perfect ski for him would have been, IMV, Kiwi's Nomads he was selling off cheap... I am not sure he has any left..
That ski would have growing room as well as the 180 handles much bigger guys without being a killer on technique..not that that sounds like his issue, anyway.

Seths will be perfect for him - because he's a charger he'll definititely need 189s - now if only there were some for sale
