Hi gals!
I have the opportunity to demo some Black Pearl 82s tomorrow. I’m not so good at telling the difference between one ski and another. What should I look for? Other than just skiing my present skis (Blizzard Quattro) and then the BPs down the same trail, anything I should do?
I was wondering about my slightly less capable, less steady skiing through bumped up soft snow, and @Abbi feels it’s a technique problem, and unlikely to change with a different pair of skis. That was the only thing I could think of to try to compare.
I read a lot about skis that are playful, turny, planks, responsive, stiff, with torsional strength - I thought a few years on skis would make all this somehow clearer in my mind. Fortunately I have the opportunity to demo, and I’m going to try to learn this vocabulary in my body!
Anybody have ideas?
