No revirews yet ?

I had these for 2 days in January - 1 at Park City and 1 at Solitude. Conditions at both had around 3 inches of chopped-up fresh, which is nowhere near enough to make these work as they should.

They certainly charged well-enough in the chop - not as well as my own Rossi S7s though. They ski a lot short than their 190 length due to the rocker, so don't be over-intimidated by the huge size look of them.

Where I thought they failed somewhat was getting around the groomers. The S7s seem to handle the laps in-between the soft stuff a lot better than these things. The first time I tried to engage an edge on a fairly steep black, they just let go completely without any warning, next stop bottom of the slope. Not impressed. Wether this is normal for these things I do not know. What I do know is that after 2 days on them I cannot recommend them. The final kick is that they are ugly as ugly can be. Sorry Elan, try again.
