Groomers, hardpack, bumps, it does all VERY well for a ski this size. It's soft flex allows you to plow the nose into anything but doesnt ski groomers likes it flexes. It's so wide and torsionally stiff that with my Griffon binding on board its amazing how far I can lay the ski over. Was blown away by its hard pack performance. Only complaint is that they are heavy, but It's a big ski so i'm sure they all are.

This ski skis really well in all conditions. It does really well on groomers. Not as well as a carving ski would do, but for a ski this wide, it handles and carves on groomers really well. It depends on how quick you are edge to edge, and how well you ski bumps, but I enjoyed this ski in the bumps and found it quite competent. It's a really well rounded ski.
