I gotta say if I could ski at 25 mph or under I would def rip off a few sets every now and then... thats awesome

My brother and I used to ski together until he fractured both wrists- has pins in both. He just couldn't take the pull any more on a traditional slalom ski. When I got the satori he started skiing again with me which is awesome. The satori feels very boardlike- it's completely flat on the bottom and flexes a lot so it's a unique feel. More than just a big ski. Actually 25 mph would be a little fast for it.

I have been in the boat when Andy Mapple ran 22off at 15 mph on his competition ski - impressive - but it did not look like fun. The wake is huge - I mean that is slower than trick speeds. Trying to imagine the wake at 22-24 mph in the course - I can't imagine that it is helping your slslom form at all. But if you are never going to go back to real skiing and having fun - what the heck.
