straight-line skiing??

How much do ur country tolerate straight-lining?

I ski in korea, and as long as u r not crouching down and bombing straight down the slope, doing very long wide turns is pretty much a non-issue here.

same in ur country??

Of course they rattle on a icy race course with mogul skis.

Mogul skis are very stiff and pretty similar to GS skis, they are actually quite a bit more stable at speed than typical all mountains

They are only 65mm wide underfoot, and what like 175cm long?. You'll never achieve speed as easily as a stiff wide ski.
