Bumps and Slide Brook - What skis?

SRO, based on some more digging, I found that the 102 was released in 1966.

From the famous tricolour rooster logos emblazoned on their shark nose-shaped tips to their modestly flared tails, Rossignol's new 40/25 commemorative skis offer a tip of the tuque to Whistler's and Blackcomb's 40th and 25th anniversaries, respectively. The venerable French ski manufacturer custom-moulded 200 numbered pairs of this year's B2 all-mountain models. With graphics patterned after the café au lait-hued ones that graced Rossi's expert-rated Strato 102 line in 1966-the year...........

I think your stratos are newer than the original. But we'll keep looking................

Sounds good, day off so I need to get some errands done, want to get up to Mellon by 11. After these posts I started thinking about taking the Strato's out but I threw away the boots that are matched up last summer.

Please do some snow dancing!

... By their logic, a heavier or taller person has stronger ligaments. I just don't know if there is any physiological evidence to back that up.

"...Ultimate failure load was found to have a significant correlation with bodyweight. "

Thanks!!!! I could never find anything pointing to that.

Edit: Now what about height? I wonder if longer ligaments will tend to stretch instead of snap...

I wish there was a higher sample in that study..

I am also wondering how much of a roll physical activity plays, are highly active people more likely to have stronger ligaments than couch potatoes... I'd think so, but can't justify it.

So many questions
