Pretty damn sweet!

I liked the Zealot because it had some stiffness with some rocker! Great in all conditions but definetly designed for powder and chopped up powder. Not what I would call a turny ski, though it was not that hard to crank out some touring turns. It was great in the powder, with the rocker lifting it up in the snow but not too much. Your body position will determine the depth. Good on groomers, but you have to have them at top speed to really get a good arcing turn out of them. Not what I would call turny on groomers, but, with enough speed they felt stable and a lot like a GS ski. Blaseted through the crud and landed drops well. Really appreciated the shoter length (182) at my height and weight (5'7"/180#). Tried them one icy bumps, and they held their own.
Awesome ski overall! A definete single quiver option if you seek powder most of the time.
