The course has a counterweight at between the shovel and the tip to dampen vibration. I found 2 things. First the skiis love to submarine in powder. Second, at moderate speeds (I couldn't get going as fast as I would have liked due to relatively slow conditions on the day I demoed them) the tips would begin to vibrate at a frequency high enough to begin producing weird humming sounds. I was unable to feel the vibration through the skiis, but it was very strange to hear this weird humming sound. Bob Schneider {ihnp4 | hplabs}!hpfcla!hpfcll!rjs
