So this could be an immensely stupid question, but would these work passably well as standard downhill skis? Long story, but I'm buying skis in the czech republic and it's hard to find boards that aren't for carving and in the price range. These are showing up very cheap at a prague shop and I'm wondering if it could work out. I'm about 5'11" 150-160 depending on the week, and I'd say I'm a moderately aggressive skier (prefer speed and diverse terrain/not as good at cliff-huckery as I should be though) I appreciate any of your thoughts.

Hey Neale, these would make an outstanding all-day, every-day ski for resort skiing. They are light for touring but are not flimsy at all and excel at the kind of diverse terrain and conditions that you describe. We here in Utah see them all the time up at Alta and Snowbird. Buy them up and have a great winter.
