Same, FIS Alpine racing. Mostly Downhill for me, but raced all events. Mostly on the Europa Cup and NorAm circuits and a bit at WC level.
I'm not sure if Yamaha is still active in racing, but they had some really amazing skis, and they tried out a lot of interesting ideas. One of my favorites was a triple-core construction where two of the cores were a high-energy elastomer pre-stretched in the mold to ~5x their original length. The idea of this pre-load was to have a moderately soft flex but return a lot of energy as the ski un-bent as you exited the turn -- and it worked like crazy -- the best pair of GS skiis I ever had! I also had a pair of 220s to try for DH; they were not fast probably because they had too much energy and vibration on the straights, but they were an absolute blast for hi-speed free-skiing -- just crazy spring out of the turns -- I was sad to have to turn them back in since they weren't going in my race bag.
