As a person who skis everyday on a 105 underfoot ski, I was looking for something to train for my Level 3 on. This ski was what I chose based on recommendations from our Rossi rep. I have to say, at first I was afraid, I was petrified. I was not used to being able to just tip and rip. I typically ski twin tips that have less sidecut, so you really have to work to engage the tip, bend the ski and then tip. With this ski, the movement is more about tipping first and shaping your turn after. I'm used to it now and seriously enjoy it. I also thought it wasn't going to be fat enough for crud/chunder, but was surprised at how well the wide tip navigates the crap. I'm not ready to call it a one-ski quiver, but its a go-to tool for everything but the deepest of pow.

Based on this review, I just mounted G3 Enzo R bindings on Experience 88s. Wow! My other skis are Karhu Backcountry with Hammerheads. I love those skis but the 88s have taken me to a new level at the resorts. The cut through anything - are incredibly stable, hold an edge on everything, even sheet ice. They are much heavier than my Karhus, and that took a little getting used to, but they have become my standard for Eastern skiing. Highly recommended for Eastern Telemark skiing. I have read some iffy reviews about skiing these out west, but I won't be using them for bc, that's what the Karhus are for, and won't hesitate to bring the Rossis with me.

A plug for the bindings. I am very impressed with the G3 Enzo. It's a very active binding with a lot of power. It feels like a tighter more aggressive version of the Hammerhead and is probably comparable to the Axl/Vice. I gave up on G3 after the Targas - which I hated - but they are now back in my books.
