Will I die if I ski on these? The turn radius is gigantic, which usually means you'd better pray if you get into a tight tree run or chute. So, when short, quick turns are necessary, how well do these do given the radius?

rian...what about using the czar as an east coast ski for mostly tighter tree runs (in which i hope to, and usually do, find some pow stashes) and touring? Is it too giant for that or will it be fine to haul, steer, handle, and turn?

I second what Jamey has said. I use these to ski deep snow in the trees around Tahoe, and they are tremendously good. I can literally make two turns in the space that I could make one turn on traditional skis, which makes choosing lines almost a thing of the past - I just go, and and when I need to turn, I just twist my hips and I turn. It greatly opens up your choices when in the trees because you can turn so quickly and so adroitly.
