Fischer Kehua (2007)

Skied this for a week in Austria this year. Plenty of powder about and conditions were perfect.  
 
This ski does tip dive a bit with the mounting set centrally. So, for powder, put the mounting right back. 
 
The side cut allows you to stomp the turns on the crud and groomers with confidence and easy. 
 
Solid, light weight, fat enough - just - to make the powder fun. A go anywhere, do anything ski that stops just short of being branded anything more than "good."

Great all mountain ski. As previously mentioned it is a little narrow on the deepest powder and it is a slight bit jittery at very high speeds, but outside of that this ski is amazing. 
 
It is very quick and playful. It seems eager to dive in to just about anything. Terrific in the woods and the bumps but it still holds and edge well on hardpack.  
 
Highly recommended. 
 
Fischer has changed the name of this ski to The Misfit but it is identical to the Kehua in the 177 format.

This ski is just not that good. Even with the bindings set well back from centre (which I did form the off) they tip dive like crazy. 
 
Far too much sidecut. 
 
Too thin. 
 
Good if you want to jam short radius turns all day but too flexible to allow you confidence at speed. 
 
Wrong on so many levels. Why did I buy this ski?!

Bought this ski at a killer closeout price to replace my aging Volkl Snow Rangers for powder. It was recommended by a couple of friends working at the local mountain, that demo most all of the skis. 
Tried them for the first time this past monster Sierra storm over the New Year's week. Wow! Not only are they nice in the powder, they are surprisingly quick on the groomed. They can tip dive a little in the deepest and thickest stuff, if you don't watch your balance, but I found them easy to handle. I guess I could have the bindings mounted more rearward, but I don't want to compromise the groomed/crud performance. 
I tried them again this past weekend in the heavy, remaining thick stuff and crusty refrozen snow as well. Still outstanding! Just blew through it all with ease, then snapped quick (relatively) turns in the chopped bumps. They even allowed me to easily navigate some frozen bumps with relative ease. 
I keep wanting to take out my Apache Recons, but I am having so much fun with the Kehua's that I can't bring myself to switch! 
 
For my skiing style and the areas I ski, these have been a great purchase.

Just had my first day out on these. IMPRESSED! 
More so because I paid 275 Euros including bindings - I chose them over the Nordica Enforcer because of above comments and I didn't like the thinness of the Nordica edges. 
I skied on icy blue and red runs (red and black diamond in America) and they did everything I wanted - straight line, tight grippy turns, long carves and air. In the air they were stable and the receptions great. 
Can't wait to ski powder if we get any this year. 
I'm 5foot8inches and weigh 80kgs (12 stone) and am expert level.

Do you have any recommendation for mounting position? I'll be skiing 50/25/25 offpiste/park/piste.

Put them as centered as you can by the plate. They fill sweat on that way, I had them all threw last season.

more by luck than judegement I got a rental binding and fixing plate - Nx11 demo - although new. I can move the centre point backwards and forwards depeding on conditions. Might be worth considering....
