I use them as all-mountain skis here in Michigan and out west - not as park skis (they really are too heavy for the park). With the proper side edge bevel (1 degree), these skis work great even on frozen crud and ice. I have some great Volkl carving skis- these don't have quite as much edge hold as the Volkls, but they are way more forgiving skis.

I agree w/ lauren m these skis aren't made for eastern icy hardpack.

Yeah these skis were definitely not made for Eastern hardpack. They'll slide out on ice if pushed at all. Super fun in variable CO terrain. You can play in the bumps, the crud and the groomers. They are fine, not great, in deep stuff. Have to get in the backseat a bit to keep the tips floating. Definitely a worthy Western ski if your quiver already has some fatties.
