Does anybody know something about these skis?

Yea and I would say don’t buy them until you have tried them. No matter how much is written up about them they are such unpredictable skis to ride on

I have them and I am really impressed in the powder (stability,turning) but they are too heavy for the park.

I bought these at a summer sale two years ago and have really liked them. I’m 6’1” and 195 pounds, 57 years old and ski mostly single black or cruise on blues. They are not super-quick, but turn well in crud and on groomers just lean over. I like the stable big base underfoot, and use these as an every day ski.

Bought these brand new off craigslist for cheap, looking for something for all conditions. I was instantly impressed with the light weight and stability and overall feel. These skis made me a much better skier within one day and all of my friends were instantly convinced they needed twin tips also.

I never do jumps or play in the park, just like to cruise groomers and head for the trees once in a while and these skis are AWESOME for me.

I have owned these for 3 years in 171.  I’m 6’0” 220.  I mostly use this as a teaching ski due to length, but they are great cruisers and handle the pow OK.  If it’s more than 12” of fresh, they are a little hooky and dive for me, but for this ski, I’m pretty big.  In the crud, it’s a great ski even though Im a bit outsized for it. I had this ski in a 185 and it was an awesome powder ski. They have this thing, where on the groomer, they get “heavier” the faster you go and really track well.  This is a ski that you have to be on the front and carve.  You will hate this ski if you can’t carve a turn.
