Powerful All-Arounder
Written by Ski Review Guest on 2009-01-30 00:58:28
** I'm 5'9 / 160, and ski 173.
- very powerful
- extremely stable
- amazing edge grip
- take quite a bit of pressure to really flex
- physically demanding, must be able to keep up with these skis, but supremely rewarding when you do
- balance point right at the center, and fairly forgiving on fore-aft balance
- best beer league / Nastar skis I've ever owned |

I’m 6’0/185 and ski 170 +/- 5 cm. My RCs are 168s and perform well in all conditions. I’ve skied them on ice, corduroy, slush, moguls, crud and powder over the last ten days, and have even used them for teaching beginning parallel classes (very low speed demonstrations, not the ideal case for a high end ski). Overall I’m very pleased. Even at the shorter length they’ve done well in powder, and I’d rate them ahead of my previously-preferred K2 Recons in most conditions (except in heavy crud where the heavier K2 will blast through with lesser deviation…but then the Recons are much heavier). |
