Echoes was such a great skiing tune... until it got to that whales-crying-in-the-deep part.

Oh yeah . . . although at the time it was just called skiing. I didn't ski for a while, during which period the short carvy skis came out, so I never had a timely direct comparison. But I do remember how damn hard it was on anything other than groomers with 200s.

And if you want vintage, ebay has what you're looking for:

200s were too hard to manage. I got them because I knew someone who won them in a racing competition. Sold them to me for next to nothing. Difference between those and 190s was night and day.

The essential item I never owned was the Vuarnets with the leather sides in white. It was the only accessory for the multicolored Nevica. Completed the Aggressive Pastels Look.
