I know that I am perhaps to reflective...
But I am starting to wonder if I am missing an inside joke or something... :? :lol: :ugeek:
The E99 is a double-cambered XC ski.
But you put it pretty high on the list of most turnable skis under 90.

And look, there is turning for enjoyment, and there is turning for survival. Making graceful slalom turns down a slope is a different matter than a quick change in direction to avoid a tree.

Those skis probably do turn good in good conditions but If the snow sucks and there are trees around you might need a helmet.

Edit: too much slipstreaming of Baaahb. Will inflict new post later :)
