Same here. Whilst a good skier can ski anything well, they'll ski better on the right ski for the jobe (and, more importantly, have more fun).
Also, as well as the different types of ski, I notice a difference between each brand, and how they go about making their skis work - ie Dynastar stiff and chargy, Scott soft and playful (relative to each other anyway).

Perhaps I should try some straight 240s...

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

clarky999, Is there a resource anywhere that gives a handy guide to manufacturer ski types like what you just said about Dynastar/Scott? All the ski reviews/guides I've seen require wading through reams of guff about technical specs that, quite frankly, I can't be @rsed with. A QRG (Quick Reference Guide) would be very useful.

Dr John, The trouble is that most sites seem to regurgitate the manufacturers PR
I'd second clarky999's comment regarding Scott skis.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Dr John, Not that I'm aware of, as above most 'proffesional review' sites are either biased or just spiel off the manufacturers stuff. That's just trends that I've noticed myself, in general most brands seem to fit their stereotypes (Atomic heavy and damp, for example).
