Love this ski..

I have used the super stinx, dawn patrol, hippy stinx and so far this is my favorite for backcountry. My only mistake was that I didn't buy it last year when I first started thinking about it. I wanted a ski that would ski pretty much anything but also hold an edge on icy skin tracks along ridgelines etc. I also wanted one that would be lightweight enough that I wasn't to exhausted to enjoy the ski down after skinning up. I have to say that this ski hold an edge much better than the dawn patrol did. I think because it is stiffer and also shaped slightly differently. The super stinx was good in the backcountry on icy days, but no fun on powder days and the hippy stinx is just too heavy. :( Anyway, this ski is awesome- I put the switchback tele bindings on it and now enjoy hiking up almost as much as skiing down. I would def. buy this again.
