Not a fan, little guys probably love this ski

For me these skis were not all that great. I have skied them in all conditions, ranging from powder to ice and wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. The only place these skis really excelled was in tight trees. They are super fun and you can make the tightest turns possible. This is probably due to their super short running length, its like skiing snowblades without the chairlift ridicule. In powder the float was not that great, the skis just felt really short and wimpy. Performance in choppy cruddy snow was good, as long as you stay balanced you can carve through some pretty junky snow. They were stable landing airs, and pretty decent in moguls as well. I am not sure if it was the tune (or lack thereof) but I had to almost lean back into the backseat to get the sidecut to hook up and get the skis to carve on hard snow. Eventually I got used to it, but I would rather be able to drive my skis from a more athletic stance. The truth with these, is that if you are a smaller dude (or dudette) these skis probably rip like none other, but for bigger dudes look elsewhere.
