Very classy. Imagine what would happen if you took a skier from back in the day (say, Dick Durrance) and put him on modern gear?

I wonder if those skis have metal edges? Hard to tell from the video.

Yeah, hard to tell about the edges, regardless, pretty impressive skiing down a world cup course on old gear...
As for Dick D., although he could slay the gnar in his day, I'm pretty sure his physical conditioning and strength doesn't come close to a current world class ski racer.  He'd be better off sticking to the equipment Didier was using... Prolly would do just fine!

I wish I could get on my metal edges half as well as he does on the wood "edges".
