There were a lot of kids on them on Monday. If you ask me, they fall more into the "toy" category than anything else. The skis that Denis and I are talking about are the AK Rockets, they're new this year but I dont think they are really a part of the main X-Scream series. They had them at Aspen East and I think I may have seen them in Sports Odessy in Ludlow. As far as I know they only come in a 200 (or maybe it was a 203?) length. They're pretty wide with a rounded, low profile tip.. I assumed with a name like that they're desgined for blasting big turns in heavy coastal snow, but maybe I'm wrong. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
