Excellent backcountry ski

Fantastic in powder, mashed potatoes, crud, you name it...they'll chew it up and leave you smiling. They are even a lot of fun on the groomers though I'd stay out of bumps. Not completely an all-in-one, but pretty close. When I really want to rip in bounds, I go back to my Scott Missions, which are hands-down the best all around ski I've skied in nearly 50 years on the slopes. Still, these rock. One small beef: the so-called hydro-phobic surface is useless...snow still sticks, but they make the skis so slippery, they are almost impossible to carry in a gloved hand. It's a real nuisance; I've come close to dropping them off a cornice on a boot-climb more than once; If not for that, five stars.
