The Curated Take
This ski has some camber underfoot and fairly deep rocker lines in both the tip and tail, which makes it ski a little shorter than the length indicates. This makes throwing the ski sideways at any speed super easy, allowing you to dump speed and smear the ski all over the mountain. The fairly soft flex pattern and deep rocker lines are symmetrical for the tips and tails, which makes it ski really well switch. For someone wanting to get into butters, this would be an excellent option. The flex pattern, while being on the softer side, is very snappy and feels like these skis are spring-loaded for popping off of jumps.
Really heavy or expert skiers hitting larger features may find it to be a little unsupportive. When landing large drops in softer snow, the tips and tails will flex up, and I have found you can crater into the snow. When landing larger jumps in the backseat, the tails are soft enough to not be there to catch you and will flex out of the way. This will quickly teach you to maintain a strong, centered stance on these skis.
So, who is this ski for? They will be most at home in the hands of a modern freeride skier with a centered stance on days when the snow is less than 6 inches deep. These will be a really fun ski for beginners all the way up to advanced skiers.
- Nimble and playful with a light swing weight.
- Springy flex makes popping off jumps and doing butters feel great.
- Symmetrical shape and flex means they ski great switch.
- Soft flex makes it not the best option for heavier or larger riders.
- Does not carve as well as a more dedicated on piste ski.
- When to far in the backseat the skis are not super supportive.
