I loved that set-up. How about those old Mahre brothers K2 ads?  S727’s and the Marker 40’s. Classick.

OMG! That’s a big, big rig! What a set-up. I wouldn’t have had the stones to try that. i was working at a ski shop around that time and got friendly with one of the ski reps, who sold me a pair of demo Fischer 223 RC4’s downhill racing skiis (the ones with the tips cut out) he had for pennies...

Olin’s or Elans? I never could figure out which was which. Or, are they Harts maybe?  Where’s Wayne Wong when you really need him...?
