I demoed a pair of Dynastar course (slalom) last year. 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.
