Czar - versatile wasatch midfat

By Ben Jacobsen Ranked #811 - Alpine Fat Skis March 11, 2009

Bought the Czar in December and have been very stoked with this ski. I'm 5'11" 150 lbs and I went with the 182. I mounted BD O1's on them and ski them with T1's. I bought this as my midfat and as a ski to tour with. In comparison to my Prophet 130's they are obviously a lot lighter and easier to tour with, but not as much float. So for the big days I still prefer my 130's but for everything else, I'll take the Czars. The tip rocker performs as advertised and give you good float and the ability to turn on a dime, but these skis aren't afraid of making super G turns either. They do their job on the groomers. The conventional camber and sidecut makes them ski fine on the groomers, although the tip will flap around a bit. But I didn't buy them so I could ski groomers. Overall, I'm happy with this ski. It does exactly what I wanted it to do - skis the powder and crud well and is a lot more pleasant to tour with than my 130's.
