I'm a good skier. Two winter's ago, I got a pair of Atomic skis and boots, and I started falling all over the place. It was as if I had to learn skiing all over again - they were so hard to master. I was about to give up, going back to my old equipment, when one morning, after a snowfall, I was on top of a hill and everything suddenly just clicked. I found and challenged my balance in totally new ways. I couldn't believe it - my body, mind and equipment was one, and I was racing faster than I ever had before, with growing confidence. I have never looked back. Used to think Atomic skis were too technical and demanding, until that morning when I realized they were the Hatori Hanzo swords of skiing!
