I was wondering how these ski as an all around as compared to the zealot and if they are easy to skin on?

The Megawatt is a more powder specific tool than the Zealots. Still the Megas are surprisingly good in all but the most firm snow. While the weight of the Mega is not great for extremely long days of touring, they are a great ski for frontcountry and smaller backcountry day tours. The rockered tip is GREAT for breaking trail as it always stays on top. This can work against you if you are the only person in your crew with a pair of Meags then you are bound to become the designated trail breaker!
