great big day ski

theses things rip when there is some snow on the ground. i would not recommend them as an everyday ski nor even consider telling someone that sticks to groomers and the reg. inbounds runs to consider them. i checked them out when silver mtn id got 30' and needed something to keep me on top of the pow. they feel huge at first but after a couple runs i got adjusted and got some props on the tracks i made on them. the tails are slightly reverse camber and dove tailed so it makes it easier to ski switch and really just turn in general. they float when needed and blasted through the crud later in the day. if you are looking for a ski that can handle its own in the freshies and off the groomers check this mammajamma out. if you like the mantra, check out the katana on a freshies day and you wont be disappointed. however, if you dont want to put a little work into commanding this beast, dont bother....its not for the little guys or the S turn stylist. this b*tch aint no joke. super solid in some new snow but a little sluggish on groomers and lame terrain.
