  1. So, Should I get an Enforcer 110 (2017 graphic if I can find one) or a 104 Free for the PNW? To be paired with a salmon shift, and partner to my enforcer 93.

  3. @JonathanEllsworth: funny how injury can jolt you hard enough to shift your frame of reference & accordant categorical imperatives. I had been curious about how your Kantian “moral” judgements on ideal ski design might shift with your change of home mountains…
