Crud killers

By Nuclear Ranked #1277 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis April 7, 2010

I was lucky enough to demo some of these on a good spring powder day. This was actually the first time I was able to ski some fat skis in the powder and I was honestly blown away. Nothing compares to fat skis in fresh powder.
After a few runs I got used to the fact that you can ski through the crud like it was groomed. At first I was tense through the cruddy steeps like I am on my normal skis, but once I got used to them I relaxed and sped up considerably. I like to make long fast GS turns down pretty much everything and these excelled in cutting through the bumps allowing me to go as fast as I wanted.

I wasn't able to hit any groomed trails but I did ski through some packed down snow and I wasn't super impressed. For me they handled OK on the packed snow, about as well as I was expecting. I don't think they are really made for carving up corduroy though so it's not a deal breaker.
