Ski-Review’s verdict:
Snow conditions: Waste deep powder.
These are just amazing!
Turn initiation on these skis was rather slow but as the ski has plenty of flex you really can’t expect a lightening response,
The Big Trouble is extremely balanced—popping 180’s of rollers and riding switch was as hard as you made it.
Carving on the Big was similar to the slimmer Trouble Maker sibling—they behave just like the little brother with the obvious extra lift in the pow.
I took these skis trough the trees so the route was more dictated to me that not; I found I was able to react very quickly with the plenty of stability and being able to maintain direction.
These skis are fun and it comes in spades. Happy on most types of snow.
Conclusion
Went
off piste with some others who where itching to have a go on these and
see why I was so happy. I made one of the biggest mistakes of my
life and let them have a go—I did not get them back - enough said.
Wicked, but sadly I shared. And of course Dynastar have done well…again!

I just bought these skis and I’ve already fallen in love! These skis perform perfect from the heaviest snow, all the way to the iciest slopes. And I definately recommend them to any park skiier.

BT’s are nice midfats with a 92 waist. It has a medium flex to it. The new 06-07 version has sick graphics and color scheme.

People have been telling me to mount them 2-3 cm back from the mid point.

Just brought a pair of 176 BT’s at the end on the seasson.
I knew they were 5* in the big stuff but what really amazed me was how good they were on peist. Not for the lazzy mind you, having riden on some Pocket Rockets before you had to work the BT’s to get the GS carve but this just added to the enjoyment!
