Great ski in powder. Surprisingly flexible in other conditions. I was expecting to hate the groomers, bumps and trees in them based on the reviews, but they did way better than expected. I'm 200lbs 6' and am really happy with the 193cm length.

just took these out in 2 ft. of fresh at big sky...AMAZING! they are the best big mountain sticks ive ever had. You can go big bomber long turns in the bowls or take em in the tight trees, no matter where they go their awesome. the 0 camber underfoot gives you a super nice surfy feel in the pow but also makes them really agile when your in a tight spot. They even work on groomers, if you keep your weight forward the whole way down you'll be smilin the whole way. (i'm 5'7 120 lbs. 16 year old and i could handle these like they were 10 cm shorter) they are great gotta get a pair and try em' out.

Let me preface this review by saying that I when I skied these it was pretty firm and choppy, and didn't really get to test their versatility or floatation.

This ski is a true big mountain ski. It is pretty straight, with a long turn radius, and some early rise in the tip and tail to help with floatation and pivoting/smearing your turns in pow. It has a medium stiff flex to it, which is pretty sweet, and provides great stability. I skied them on a pretty firm day, and they held a great edge and were stable through all conditions. I took them off some 10 foot cliffs, and the landing was great. They absorbed a lot of the impact and didn't wheelie out like some other similarly shaped skis. 4FRNT makes really solid skis, and this one is no exception. They are really well built, and feel pretty solid underfoot. My only complaint about them was with regard to their carvability. They felt kind of hesitant to engage turns, and seemed more comfortable sliding the latter part of the turn. They were more slarve friendly than carve friendly. Which is fine, because they are designed to to ski bigger lines, which often involve sliding your turns out not carving them. I was just looking for something that would be more traverse friendly, seeing as how we have a lot of them at the bird. Overall, a super solid ski, that handles everything pretty well.

Conditions encountered: Mank, tracked Mank, refrozen mank. These skis owned the nasty conditions. Skied the 186 length and they are great for me(6'3", 190lbs). Stable at speed, quick, easy turn initiation in tight trees. Even got these skis to carve turns on the groomers. Definitely could be a one ski quiver in Utah.
Skied these a bunch last year. They are definitely the most confidence inspiring, versatile skis I have skied. The stiffness is perfect for charging hard or bouncing through pow and trees. You can dump speed incredibly quick thanks to the "Slarvability" of the skis. Love em.

Possibly the most fun skis that i have ever used. i have the 186s and weigh 190 and they are all the ski that i would ever need. I skis trees way faster with these than any other ski. Super fun in pow and trees.

Highly recommended!

These are by far some of the most playful skis I have been on in powder. The taper in the tip and tail lets the EHP just rip through deep snow. The skis are pretty much useless when you get out of the powder though. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to add a playful powder ski to their quiver.

Ski is really fun. Super fast and great in powder. Only problem was its not very versatile. Wouldn't recommend for a one-quiver ski, but still fun.

ski them like its groomed.
