yeah, its good stuff. It's less me, and more the mountain i'm at these days. no run is remotely long enough for this stick. Lots of flats, interspersed with narrow short, low angle steeps. I'll be giving it a try mid-week tomorrow, hoping it'll be slightly better without as many people on the mountain, but it was just two days of pure hell, spending 75% of the day just side slipping down the slope waiting for the off chance of a small steep to bomb. :(
