Solid sticks

By Sheyon Ranked #503 - Alpine Park and Pipe Skis November 17, 2008

I agree with the other review that these skis can burn up groomers. They also are very snappy/stiff on take offs and stable on landings when hitting kickers. In the deep pow they are pretty solid however, the stiffness that makes them snappy holds them back a bit in the deep pow because they don't float as well as softer skis. My only complaint is the scratch/chip resistance of the top sheet. I have a few big chips in the top sheet and I haven't worked these that hard. But if you're like I should be and care more about how it works instead of how it looks. Then your good to go! Overall these skis are fabulous all-mountain skis, as long as your more in bounds then out because that's where they really rip. However for their size they hold their own pretty well in the back country. I'm 6'3" 200lbs with the 180cm.
