Hi, does anybody ski these in Tahoe / Kirkwood and has anyone tried the Head Jimi 110 too? Looking for a new backcountry / powder ski to add to the quiver and have heard really great things about the Answers. I'm 5'9" 165lbs, 32 yo. Ski deep pow, love the trees, no drops over 8 feet and not into the park. Oh, and I've retired from the steeps but like to rip really fast super-g turns back to the lift.

Scotty- I'm about your size - 5'9" 175lbs 27yo - and these are the skis for you. As far as ripping sweet turns in pow and swishing through trees, the Answers have that minimal utility rocker that has just let me slash my way down the hill. It is so easy to make these skis turn and I've found very few conditions where these skis don't feel smooth. I've beaten mine up a bit, but before I skied rocks with 'em, they would rip nice GS/SG turns on hardpack like it was nobody's business. I've tried the Head Jimi, but they just seem a little damp, making for a less interesting/energetic ride. I like more pop out of my turns!
