The Ticket's are my go-to tele ski 90% of the time. They're remarkably light for BC use, fat enough for powder, and really responsive and "snappy". The turn radius seems to favor faster, GS-type turns over short, slalom turns, but they WILL initiate turns quickly if you force it (might be the asymmetrical shape). I find I can make random shaped turns more easily with this ski than any other I own, so I love it in the trees. They're just plain fun, and without sounding too cheesy, you can really express yourself with these skis!

Skis well on groomed - like a cruiser it is very comfortable and predictable to use. Cuts and busts up crud well. It's a fun, mid-speed carving ski that seems to like to dodge, dart, and play. Great for ski mountaineering or icy descents.

These are the snappiest most responsive all around ski I've ever been on. They charge in everything from boilerplate to champagne powder. They take some effort to really control so they aren't that well suited to the lighter folks. For a fatter option the Rapid Transits are equally great.
