Price Paid:  $599.00 at Village Ski Loft

Summary:
I did a demo of these today then I went back to the shop and bought a pair. They worked fine on the groomed trails but were a bit slow. A bit of knee work helped carve on-trail. Turning off of the groomed stuff and into the trees, These skis turned quickly in rough and uneven snow. Turning using the ski and turning using strength and body twisting both worked well since the ski is shorter than what I'm used to. This may not be an all-mountain ski but it's so fun in the rough and soft that I'll use them more than my Rossy Vipers (not comparable).

Price Paid:  $350.00 at Friend

Summary:
Very good ski for powder and it floats very easily. You get the same feeling as a snowboard in powder. In crud it's ok. Some limit on hard-packed snow and ice. But you cannot expect too much. Try a slalom ski in powder....

Price Paid:  $800.00 at Snowcovers

Summary:
This is a fantastic ski in powder and soft snow. It is quick, light, forgiving and floats in powder. A great board for Western skiers. You can ski and land switch too, so there is added versatility versus a non-twintip ski.

Reviewed by: Karel ,  Skier , from Czech republic, Europe

Price Paid:  $370.00 at Chamonix

Summary:
Excellent skis. The best out of downhill runs and especially for the big turns in powder and in deep snow generally. I bought it in Chamonix with some dicount and without VAT and mounted Fritchi Diamir Titanal 3 (touring binding) on it. New skiing dimension for me.
