I'am interested in buying these skis but I am worried that because they are in the park/pipe category that they will be too oriented towards that and not fair as well in powder/ice/trees/off piste conditions. Is that the case? I plan to use these primarily in CO and I am an intermidate-advanced (mostly blues and some blacks) but I plan to progress to blacks/double black. I also love powder and plan to get into more off piste terrain.

Hey Carey, The minx is a great ski, but may not be the right choice if you'll be spending your time in powder and off piste. Although categorized within the Park/Pipe section, this ski performs very well on piste on groomers. It has a very forgiving sidecut that most women enjoy. If you're leaning towards a more "All mountain, do anything" type of ski. You may want to look at the Salomon Geisha. It's a bit wider, full woodcore (stiffer) and will give you the ability to ski powder/crud much easier with its suttle rockered tip. With that being said, it will also ski exceptionally on piste. It's truly the best of both worlds. My girlfriend skis on the Geisha and I ended up putting my mother on a pair as well. You should definitely try them out, or try and demo them from a local shop. Thanks!
