Horrific quality

By Ranked #1541 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis March 5, 2009

I bought these for my 62 year old father, in a 183. He skis like a typical person of his age, quite well, but cautiously, no drops or anything over about 40 degrees. In ten days on them he's had a delamination, bent both skis, and damaged the sidewall. Meanwhile I regularly nail rocks on my obsetheds, and skied my hellbents over about 2 feet of exposed rock at solitude and have had almost no damage. It would behoove you to avoid these skis. Thank god backcountry is so awesome about warranty replacements.
