These are pretty good--fairly light for going up and lively going down. Not so stable going real fast on groomers, but that's sort of to be expected.

Main point of annoyance is poor quality control. Skis I got had a significant difference in length, which means I can't switch climbing skins between them.

For something that's not ironed in, this stuff works great. Very easy to just spray on ski base. Seemed to dry pretty quick, and then applying regular kick wax over it worked perfectly (although, I suppose it's really designed to use spray kick wax on top, for ultimate convenience)

Just wanted to give feedback for fellow guys with narrow feet that though Salomon says their shoes are gender specific, the womens feel just like a narrower version of the mens. This shoe works particularly good for narrow feet and orthotics, as its got a very deep heel pocket. I searched a long time for something that fit this well, and these shoes are really the best I've found (No comment on color, except that it's not that bad...)

Most things about this pack are OK, but it has a killer flaw in that the suspension doesn't transfer weight to your hips very well / at all. (The hip belt is sewn on to a trampoline mesh on the back, so the whole pack kind of wobbles around as you move.) Too bad they didn't add some traditional size stabilizer straps as this would make it work...

Other major con is that the severe curve in the back panel makes it a pain to pack.

I've had these poles for a few years, and when they work, they're fine, but, like their cousin the evil copier, they sense when you are having a good time and then malfunction at the worse possible moment: extend to full length in the middle of a mogul run, collapse when you're cruising along on the flat.
