Great carving ski but seriously, if you intend to ever leave the groomers then something with more float makes far more sense.

If you are an upper intermediate to an expert/pro level east coast skier these are about the sweetest things that could ever happen to you. I am one of 5 people at our local club (The CRS&GC) who ski on and swear by them. In the east coast alot of days are full of groomers and ice, and that is where the crossfires are the best. They can carve through ice and turn on a dime with their quick turning radius. They are also excellent in the bumps and in the trees because of that short turning radius, and having a narrow waist helps in the east coast bumps as well. This is in my opinion the number one east coast ski. It can also standup in the powder. I have been out this year on several mornings with 6 plus inches of fresh snow and one morning with 13 inches. These were versatile enough to handle the fresh stuff too, though they were certainly not floating like a west coast style (fatter) ski. I was certainly jealous of my friend's K2 Recon's that day. It must be nice to have a quiver Wiz!They're super sweet. -Phunk
