false alarm, Wiley's is sending me the wing

Hello, I am 20 years old and have skied on my dad's 1987 kidder red line my whole life. I started getting serious about skiing last year, so I decided to upgrade. I just got a 2005 D3 nomad, new, from Wiley's. It was the first ski I have ever purchased, so I didn't know it wasn't going to come with a wing. I live in Minnesota so our season is pretty short, but at the end of last year I was just getting into 36 mph, my best at 34 mph was 28 off. I know some of you prefer to ski without a wing, I suppose I might give that a try, but for those of you that ski with a wing, which do you recommend? Thanks!

I am looking for a 65" or 66" KD CR7 preferably a 2005 model. E-mail me with what you might have for sale. My e-mail is djwild527@hotmail.com Thanks! -Dan

Anyone that has tried/used this ski...I am wondering what you thought of it. Thanks!

Do I have to be in the area to demo a ski from them?

Thanks for all the feedback guys it is much appreciated, I think I am going to wait until I find the right D3 and hopefully I'll be able to demo one along the way.

Is this a good ski? Is it made for shortline skiers or geared more towards beginner course skiers? Any information would be great! Thanks, Dan

I am actually looking for a D3, I suppose either a nomad or X5, but I have heard the goodes are really good skis so I need some suggestions on what to do.

I am 19 years old and have been skiing the course for 3 months now. I started skiing it at 28 mph @ 15' off, now I warm up with 32 mph @15 off, and I can get 34 mph @ 15' off most of the time. I have been using my dad's old ski, it is a very old kidder redline. I have been looking for a new ski, and recently came across a good deal on a goode 9700, I have heard that these skis are very fast and can be unstable. Is the wrong ski for me? Thanks! -Dan
