There are so many TERRIFIC skis out there now, differences between the good ones are mere quibbles and sometimes only brand perception and psychology. Part of the Ultimate Quiver project is to just use what we can get, like any skier, only we can get more (grin).

Hopefully someone here can fill in the blanks...
