Great "quiver of 1" ski

By Backcountry.com Employee December 17, 2010

Now that I have more than 10 days on this ski, I can say with confidence that this is a great quiver of 1 ski. I've skied these in 2+ feet of fresh, light pow and they float great (if it's any deeper though, I'll probably go to my Megawatts). When the groomers turn hard and icy, they rail sweet GS turns. There is a bit of a speed limit to these skis, however I rarely hit it and when I do, all it means is that I have to use a bit more steering movements rather than just hard edging in my turns. Still, they don't flap around, have a fairly stiff flex and feel like a solid pair of skis on every condition I've found so far. I definitely love these skis and highly recommend them.
