Summary:
A fun ski on groomers, hardpack and packed powder. Not much float in deep powder, but that's not what it was made for, so I can't fault it for that. I am an advanced skier and these skis are a no-brainer to turn. A relaxing ride if you just want to cruise. This would be a good one for an athletic beginner who doesn't want to buy new skis after they've honed some skills; they're perfect for an intermediate and like I said, a fun ride for an advanced skier who just wants to relax a bit and let the ski do it for you. They do require a good tune, however. Have a local shop put a one degree base and side edge bevel on them. Mine were factory fresh but had 90 degree edges--too grabby. Enjoy.

Summary:
Have been using it for over a season and am fairly please with it. Cruise down any hard pack and turn when and wherever you want. Great value for its performance. But not a very versatile ski, it works better on hard pack and icy condition but fade in sofe snow.

Summary:
Probably a nice ski, but needs the right person. I felt like I was back on the old straight ski. One ski suddenly sometimes likes to take off with out you. Also, they aren't very easy to turn compared to the regular shaped skis. They were cheap since my cost included bindings-I guess you get what you pay for.

Summary:
I believe that this is a nice product for the right person. This ski can get away from you if it isn't set up perfect for you. I bought my pair and I thought that I was back to skiing on the old fashioned straight skis. I sure don't miss those. A little disappointed in them, but maybe they will make me a better skier in the long run. They were cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for.
