Ridiculous times to be had

By Ranked #1584 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis August 25, 2009

This are my favorite skis ever. You can rip like hell, they don't know what it means to slow down. Optimal to bust out Super G Carves on a wide open bowl -- for that, they can't be beat, period. Invincible in the powder - you can't bury these tips - meaning you can huck off of anything. Took my skiing to a whole new level.

Way better than anticipated on groomers -- a bit awkward underfoot until you get used to them though. Good in trees. Not my top pick for a day dodging branches though, as they are not particularly agile at lower speeds.

Mounted with a pair of dukes (for side country pursuits). A bit too heavy for me to consider doing serious touring on.

And, as an added bonus, I have never been hit on by as many cute guys on the chair lift... great conversation fodder.
