So -how are these sticks on the groomers, really? Some of the reviews seem kinda confusing and contradictory- some say: good at speed and on the bumps, others: they are not recommended for hard-pack -etc. As I live in New Mexico, I ski more on-piste than not. That said, I really love the pow and will chase storms whenever possible. I am not concerned about a lack of true powder performance as I already have some fatty's for that. When there aren't any freshies, my typical day is screaming down blues, bouncing around in the bumps, and darting between the trees. What I am looking for is a good everyday ski that will handle all of that when I am caught without my more specialized skis (I also have some short park/pipe skis for practicing switch and tricks). I am a bigger guy- 6'3", 225 pounds, and usually ride with a pack that can weigh up to 15 pounds. Obviously, I need a pretty stiff ski. Will these fit the bill? Please advise.

I bought the 182's off of Tramdock. Was looking for a good all around ski for my trips out west. I'm a big guy as well 250#'s. My everyday ski is a pair of volkl supersports for NC conditions(patrol 50+ days a year). Went out to Utah 2 weeks ago and these skis surpassed my expectations. They can lay down a great turn on the groomers and are great in variable conditions. While there we started with hardpack, probably the least desirable conditions for them and went to 30" of snow. Later in the week it got heavy. For an easterner they performed great all the conditions but I'd probably look at a wider ski for those powder days. For the price you can't go wrong.
