5 Star Rating

Greatest ski ever made. Ever. Ever.

By Ranked #185 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis May 9, 2009

I love these skis. LOVE. I knew they would perfom well in powder, but was unsure on hardpack. That's the questions everyone has about wide/reverse camber skis, will they perform well enough on hardpack or groomers? The answer is unequivocally, yes. To understand, I used these at Mt Bachelor with my racing coach friends, and I spent more time waiting for them at the bottom of the hill on an icy day than anywhere else. They said they never thought someone could go that fast on skis like that. If you are a competent skier, you can use them anywhere. I hit rails in the park, spin drops, jib all over the mountain and kill the groomers. They are so big and stable that the rocker doesn't affect performance at all. And I don't even need to mention the powder. Floats on anything. Crud days become the best days, and two inches of snow becomes a whole new ball game because you are the only one who can float on top. If the graphics don't scare you, then you are set. I will never own another pair of skis again
