Very good skis all round.
A dream to ski in deep snow and track well at good speeds on packed snow. Reasonally torsionally stiff so will hold an edge but I think they will struggle on hardpack/ice. Of course, that depends on your definitions but ice in Europe is glazed hard snow that has had all the softer snow scrapped off of it. Think east coast boilerplate here, so unless you get them on that, then I think they will be great.
Stable platform all round and can hit good speeds. Great fun in trees and just a really good solid fun ski, IMV
I use them as my all-round ski in Europe with a tendency to search out steep deep lines.
I’ll be looking out for the Goliath sluff this year as well.
Just one thing re the Glads… it is a TT so ski it longer, ie a 6 foot good skier should look at 191, IMO
