The turn radius is 39 to 40 meters so they are not quick skis, but if your strong enough you could manage, they are ment for big open line chargeing but if your good you could ski them anywhere. i don't know how fun they would be though. Actually, these skis are extremely quick due to the rocker tip and tail. This greatly reduces the effective edge on these. I have last years 193 which is essentially the same as this year with the exception of the tip being more low profile and early rise. It's awesome. It's fast and skis more like a 185 or so. I ski it on big open lines, chutes, and in the trees without hesitation.
