Skied a half dozen days on these so far in Colorado in all conditions. Very intuitive and easy ski to read. This is a fun one-quiver ski for someone who likes to ski in a quick, light, and nimble style (fast and tight turns). Playful, forgiving, center oriented, easy to slarve. Very agile in the bumps and trees, carves well, and performs adequately well in powder as a soft ski with a relatively high amount of rocker. Relatively short turning radius (19m @ 182cm). This ski is not for someone who likes to ski relatively fast, making big, wider-arcing turns. High amount of rocker and soft tips means the ski chatters noticeably though I still find it to be a good carver due to lateral stability under foot. In mixed conditions, the ski wants you to float over crud rather than slash your way through it. It lacks the muscle and stiffness for the latter. If you are looking for a ski primarily for piste skiing / groomers this is also not the right ski. It's a playful ski for more playful terrain and skiing styles. So, this isn't a ski for everyone but so far suits me really well and I'm loving them. If you're more of a painter than a blacksmith, you may like these too.
