General Comments/Likes

The innovation in the ski is impressive. Apparently there is patent pending on their 5-different-width sidecut. The slight rocker in the tip and tail give you the benefit in the powder, but they aren’t wet noodles when you hit the groomers to get back to the lift. I’d feel confident in this ski being a 1-ski quiver, though with it’s weight, I wouldn’t take it backcountry.

I’d also consider this a workhorse ski that doesn’t stand head and shoulders over it’s competitors, but does everything very well.
