		For skiing on big mountains in the west, where the snow is usually soft, I can't think of a better ski than the Recon.
		I find the skis to be very stable at moderate speeds (I ski 1000' hills in NY so GS really is not an option) and very quick as the 167 has a turn radius of 14m compared to 16m for the 174.
		I had/have owned and skied on all kinds of skis from ‘full length’ wooden, no steel edge, bear traps (look it up in an ‘old dictionary) to the newest, coolest, hippest, fastest, etc. that had been made from 1964 to 1985ish and skied them all very well I might add.

		I recommend wearing one if you're jumping 100 feet or more, because it helps you create better body position and pull from the boat sooner.
		The sling should be worn on your right arm, kept tight and positioned low on your right hip.
