Sweet...

By Ranked #42 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis February 16, 2010

I just skied jay peak, vt. for a day. I got these skis for light powder and backcountry conditions. We weren't backcountry per se, but it was coming down hard all day and we were in the trees. I got the 185s. It took me about 1 run to figure out how to work them in tight trees but once i got it down they were dreamy. They do not have the snappiness to rip hard turns (ie no GS turns) but they are sweet for cruising on a good new england snow day. The flex pattern is just great for hammering natural bumps and glades. needless to say they seem to offer good flotation on a NE powder day. we'll see how they hold up in serious pow.
