How well do these skis turn in the trees and the tight trees? And how well do they do touring?

Ive got to disagree ALL of you!!! This ski is amazing in ALL terrain and surprisingly ALL conditions. As for the trees, I like em steep and tight and I feel I can turn these things anywhere and everywhere!! Such an easy ski to turn and just start ripping on. As for long turn radius and weight a lot I'd have to disagree they weight half as much as a ski of the same size for example the Fattypus Alotta which by the way twist when you put it on edge on harder snow which the Genome does not. I wouldn't get to hung up on that turn radius because of the flex in the ski and the more you charge and get forward on the ski the tighter you can make it turn. I also don't know how many people I see skiing in tracked powder and cruddy conditions just bouncing and getting thrown around on those S7's but then again my girl friend just got a pair and rips on them. Maybe the Genome just takes a special kind of skier!!!!!

I wouldn't say they weight a lot, but I agree, you probably don't want to tour in them. Bamboo core makes them light and poppy for a battleship of a ski.

They have a long turn radius and weigh a lot. If you want skis for trees and touring, you should look elsewhere.
