@MissySki As seems to be the pattern, you and I both demoed, both loved, and both bought, lol. It has got to be a lemon tune because mine feel like the demo day. It is such a frustrating experience, but having
@elemmac take them for a spin is a great idea; so handy having someone on mountain, with the same BSL, that is familiar with the ski
I saw most of the new demo skis, flat in wrappers, on the demo rack this season before we demoed. I remember being particularly excited they had the size runs on most of the Santa Anas (sadly not the 98 172). Based on when we demoed, I cannot imagine they had much traffic on them to account for breaking in. The rep also mentioned they were "straight out of the wrapper" so we must have skied them with a factory tune. That said, not all skis come out of the wrapper the same, even in the same model/year/size. We can bring our true bar to the mountain this weekend to check things out; I know he is busy, but perhaps SkiMD can take a gander at them?
