I started skiing the 192 NAS recurve POW about 75 ski days ago. It is *hands down* the best ski I've even ridden; I've tried lots of different skis in the past year or two. The edge hold on groomers is beyond ridiculous. I was coming from the 194 XXL and found that I was overpowering the NAS at first; the ski takes a bit of getting used to and doesn't like being ridden sloppy. When you are on top of these things, there is no comparison. The early rise tip is very subtle--imo it's perfect for my skiing style. The flex is dialed and smooth, this is easily the most stable ski I've been on. Until you get the feel dialed, you can feel a faint tracking when running flat. My favorite part of the design is the way this ski lets you choose your depth in deep snow; you can either surf on top or move your weight a touch more forward and the ski becomes a bottom feeder. Long fast turns, easy stompy, stable as #$%^, and the recommended mounting point is $$$... enough tail to help you recover from being off, and enough tip to let you rally. I can't say enough about em. Pick up a pair if you are on the fence, you won't regret it.

Just picked up a pair of these (181 cm) from a local shop after a solid demo day last week at Crystal Mtn. Wow. Really, that's all I can say. These things carve like a slalom ski, and will blast through anything. Haven't had a chance to ride them in the deep stuff yet (will be doing that next week in MT) but will get back to you. Amazing technology from a cool company.
