So I have the 2008 addition, and it seems like the new model took what the 2008 model has and improved it (94 is the new 88), and added the twin tip.

Background Information:
I've only used these skis on the east coast. Hunter is my primary mountain, aka a lot of hard pack, and an occasional snow day.

Groomers/Hard Pack
Go Big or Go Home: To really find these ski's sweet spot you have to be aggressive. On the hard pack pin your ears back and let them rip. The ski really explodes under your foot coming out of hard aggressive turns, and smoothly enters the next turn. It took me a season to adjust to the aggressive nature of this ski, but once you figure it out, you'll feel extremely confident.

The Bumps:
Once your leg strength is up to par these skis really perform well in the bumps. The ski is light and reacts quickly, because of this you have to have excellent form in the moguls or you'll pay the price. I've had a few instances of bad form with a responsive ski, leading of course to a fall.

Powder:
Like I said, I ski a lot at hunter so my "powder" experience with these skis is minimal. Having said that, the one day i really did get to use them in a heavy powder (The epic 5 day 7 foot dump) they worked really nicely.

Tracked Out/Crud
When it does snow at hunter, you usually get a lot of tracked out snow. This ski was born for these conditions and spring (see below). The build of these ski allow you to keep the hammer down. The build of the ski allows you to cut clean turns through anything, and is very forgiving when you move from a clean patch of snow, to tracked out, to hardback, back to a clean patch.

Spring
Hunter may not get a low of powder days, but because of all the man made snow it has phenomenal spring conditions. The Snoops flat out shine in spring conditions. It plows through the corn snow, yet you'll feel like your floating. Its quick and responsive even though the conditions are heavy. With these skis I have come to love a bluebird, Bangers and Mash day of skiing.

I am seriously considering buying this years model since i believe they will no longer be available :(

I've had my 2010 Snoops out for 10 days of mixed East Coast skiing, but wanted to write a review for those considering buying these skis late season. First, what I've read about the 2008 & 2009 Snoops holds true for the 2010 skis. In brief, Snoops are:

- Very well balanced
- Surprisingly agile and turn fast
- Awesome in powder!
- Very good on pack, ice and mixed East Coast surfaces
- Demand an aggressive skiing style and proper form.

I found these skis have some in common with the floaty nature and shape of a snowboard. As a result, the skis like you to hold an edge and get less stable when you're not carving. They can also catch a little edge in crud if you ski centered over the skis, although they're not unforgiving. I think that's why most reviews maintain these are for aggressive skiiers. With some speed and good carving form, they are very stable in any conditions and turn incredibly fast--it's really surprising when you consider the width of these skis. Snoops also hold very well on ice and hard back. They're an amazingly good all around ski if you're going to have one pair for a variety of skiing East Coast and Western conditions. They can also handle a lot of speed and have a pretty high top end, although they're definitely not speed demons. Not for beginners or intermediates.

Just demoed these for 2 days on fresh snowy days in Vermont. They handled fine on groomed trails but surely not a carver ski, they were particularly fun and responsive on moguls and through powdered glades. I found them surprisingly light making them great for quick spritely turns.

Have owned the 2007 version of these and have them mounted with Duke's. Have spent full days touring averaging 1000m daily ascents, ridden fresh 10-15" powder days and the next day's crud, steeps of Jackson Hole and enjoy the groomers. Awesome ski. It's not too soft but at same time not going to punish you if your not on top of things. Tossed up getting wider underfoot (2007's are only 88mm) and moving this to a tele ski, though can't bring myself to do it! If the 2010 model is close to these....buy them....
