Rip the Pow

By Ranked #1034 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis April 23, 2009

I've got a pair of these in 183 mounted with Marker Dukes. They are so wide I had to remove the brakearms (their so called 132mm brakes were not even close). I have only skied them in blower fresh backcountry conditions, because that is what they are made for--so none of you JONGs should ask me "how are they on groomers" or "what about bumps?" These skis have no speed limit and absolutely fly on the deep stuff. They have just enough side cut to offer easy turn initiation, but are not twitchy at speed. Relatively stiff, but even flex pattern from end to end keep them really predictable. The only gripe I have is the weight. Who would of thought this ski mounted with Dukes and 140mm skins would be so heavy? They kicked my butt on a 4500ft vertical tour.
