HA: That's pretty darn funny (and subtle). By the way, isn't that vow of Occam's the same one you took. You know, the one about simplicity of ski mounting and only having one pair of each item (boots, skis, liners, jackets)?? Even Noah was only allowed two of each on his ocean voyage.

The vowel's (or jokes) on me....damn over-reliance on spell checking.
Occam and High Angles are juxtaposed with respect to ski gear.

The vowel's (or jokes) on me....damn over-reliance on spell checking. Occam and High Angles are juxtaposed with respect to ski gear. Not just on you. I do most of my posting from my tablet, and a fair amount of texting and it is amazing the words that the computer sometimes selects. (And I still can't train myself to go back and read what I swype). Sometimes the response is "I know what he intended", sometimes just "what", and every now and again "rolling on the floor funny". In this case I actually read past it the first time because my brain knew exactly what was was intended, but HA's response threw me for the "huh". It wasn't until I read it again that I caught the slip and his "understated" subtlety. And yes, I agree that Occam probably wasn't a skier -- I've certainly never seen any of his video.

I am a new owner of OCCAM Razor skis. Tyr them on very icy conditions for the first try. Was very deceived by their comportment. Was it the factory sharpness that was not good enough? Will try them tomorrow on a snowy Day,hoping Will like them.
I now have skied them three more days. Was it me, the wood cell in the ski that were sleeping, but they run great now, they carve easily and and bite on the hardpack we have here (province of Québec. As much I was deceived on the first try, as much I am enthusiatic now about these skis
After almost 15 days of skiing with these skis, I bring them to the ski shop for a tune-up. They are now even better, bite more on icy patch.

Is that you, Yoda?
I have been using my Razors for the last week, still a blast and just about the easiest carver I've been on. They are solid in firm but not icy bumps, and they still kill the hard pack.
Snowy day??? Well, they'll be fine if you're fine, but deeper, soft snow isn't really their calling. They do not want to schmear or slide sideways (but because they are short and light you can manhandle them in a pinch), and they respond best to flexing to release and modern tipping techniques (in fact they make it easy to look good). The Tail does have a little bite. I think in soft or heavy snow you are not going to love them, they are a touch more purpose built than an everyday carver.
