solid, dependable, playful

I love these skis! Quiver-of-one-worthy if they weren't quite so heavy. Though they aren't light, they are so solid, especially in crud, corn and chowder. I find them to be firm and snappy on the groom, and never have any chatter on the ice. The piste pipes are very playful for such a crudbuster-- these are not just stiff planks. The big shovels and 85mm waist mean that they will float in all but the deeper fluff, though they won't give you the soft, porpoise-y ride in the pow that you could get with a softer ski. This is my day-to-day ski as a patroller, and they hold up well, especially considering the rocks that I subject my skis to. The burly bases and edges have held up well, though the sidewalls do get chopped up. A great ski for the resort skier that likes to ski off-piste. A killer corn ski. The twin tips make for good times in the bumps and better maneuverability in tight trees. Awesome!
