Had something happen Thursday that was new to me and thought I would post question here and see what comes up.
Background. Me 75yrs, 193lbs, 5'11 45yr skier. I went out Thurs at Silver Mt. 6-10 inches of powder and skied all my usual places.
I was on my new skis Ross Sould 7, last year model 180cm. I probably won't describe this properly but the skis turned too much. Usually I will make med. radius turns in powder and short turns when I need too, and mix it up pretty good. I found myself making turns that were too much, across the hill instead of down the hill and I couldn't seem to feather or be patient on the turns. I have never had the problem of too much turn in the powder or on any snow for that matter.
Once I realized why I was feeling so out of sorts I played with the ski turning and couldn't get rid of the turny feeling.
My lst impulse is the blame the skis, too slarvey, too short for 200 lbs plus guy but also thinking it was me not the skis. This has never happened to me or my skiing and I had a poor day in what was pretty good conditions. Anyway looking for comments. Thanks
