I ski mainly on the east coast so I dont see a whole lot of pow. But when I finally did find some it was just like skiing on the groomers. Great downhill ski, but gets a little sketchy if your not on an edge. I personally would recommend this ski to any friend of mine.

I purchased these skis here and tried them a few times up in Squaw Valley, CA. They are very heavy, and got pretty tiring after a while. I'm an advanced skier, and skiing these in the steeps was also not so fun. On the flip-side, they were amazing on groomed runs. They just held a strong edge no matter what, and felt great control. So...I would say they are a great GS Ski on the groomers, but no so good as an All-mountain.
btw- I ended up with the Stockli Laser Cross, and love em.

Bought these as a used "value" package. Heavy skis in hand but definitely light on your feet. Very stable on ice. Easy edge to edge. Haven't had a chance to try them in deep fresh but they have great grip on the hard pack....very stable.

Service & Delivery comments:

Product arrived promptly as promised. Well packaged. "Value" condition was almost word for word as the product that arrived. It's awesome because my first time out with these, some newbie skied right over the top and scratched the topsheet of both my "new" skis. If I'd paid $600-$1000 for these, I'd have been irate!
