New skis arrive

Fresh from the internet, I present my new High Society FR 179s.


The top colors are fairly innocuous and unfortunately the graphic does not feature girls in bikinis. The sidewalls are bright red. These skis have a poplar core, resin and fiberglass-wrapped wood, rubber dampening system, and a carbon fiber stringer, and blah blah blah some other features too. Dimensions are as follows: [179cm] 124 / 92 / 114mm. That's 179cm long, 124mm wide at the tip, 92mm waist, and 114mm tail. Turn radius of 21.7m (this doesn't mean it takes a 21m turn, but rather that the radius used to shape the ski was 21m...right?)

My boots should get here tomorrow, and hopefully I can get bindings at the ski shop sometime this week so I can hit the slopes on Friday.
