Almost as nice as your mom

By Ranked #1822 - Telemark Skiing February 2, 2009

These pack down significantly easier and smaller than my pair of BD Ascension STS's. They dry out faster too. I've had these on powder, slush, windslab and boilerplate and they perform perfectly. I noticed a smoother and slightly faster glide compared to the Ascensions.

I agree that BD should make a slightly bigger sack for these. That's my only gripe. Do yourself a favor and take them to a shop to get cut. The provided razor sucks hard and breaks after the second cut and if you don't have a nice sharp thick razor you'll just f them all up using your old picnic pocket knife.
