If I were in Ak I’d be skiing now but I’m not so I’ll enjoy what I can. Skiing might be my favorite thing but it’s not my only thing.

I am unable to respond to a thread from my phone. When I go to click on “post reply” it is partially obscured by an ad and doesn’t respond. Is there an easy fix for this?

Welcome to the forum. I've been pushing the use of alpine skis on here for years. I think most of us on alpine skis here have it pretty well figured out and don't need to post about it much. we are more xcd focused which for me is the experience I prefer.

T4s have a heat moldable now.

I would consider a single camber ski. It will give variety to your quiver and they should glide well in the conditions you want them for.

You said the trails are too narrow to sidestep but when I'm in the situation you describe I find that I will sidestep with my skis at a 15 or 20 degrees from the direction of travel. Just enough to lessen the angle and enable you to get more of the weighted part of the ski on the snow. Your ideas we...

I would be prepared to pay full price and hope you get what you want, otherwise look at something used to save money and ride it out another year.
