Looking for a new skimo-weight/dimensions pair of skis after finally breaking my old (and *very* well used) WSP skis in half this weekend. I like the dimensions of these skis - having a bit less sidecut is good on the uphill, makes skating more efficient, and I'm going to have fun on the downhill anyway. They look the same as my old WSPs; most everything else has way more shape these days. Are the dimensions the only thing that makes them "vertical"? Or are they also less durable?

I thought I'd wait until I had a chance to really asses the damage before posting a quick review. I was initially quite excited about them. The glue was (is?) amazing - I had difficulty removing it from the release sheets, without leaving chunks of release sheet stuck to the skins, and on a short test trip they gripped the bases just as well yet did...
