Great Skis, need a larger binding though
I have only been able to use these skis once so far (bought them at the end of last winter), but so far I love them! They have great float for powder, and great sidecut to help with turns. I noticied on REI's website what the recomended binding is listed NNN/Turnamic/Prolink. I need to disagree with that assessment. When I bought the skis (from a ski shop in Boise), they mounted it with prolink bindings (which I've used before and have had no issue with before). But when I clipped into the skis with a prolink, my foot felt like it could sheer the binding apart if pressed. I did more digging and learned a NNN/Turnamic/Prolink binding is not recommened for this wide of a ski, due to the forces at play between your ski and boot. What I ended up doing was replacing the prolink binding with a NNNBC binding (practically 1.5x larger) and used an NNNBC boot, and it felt 1000x more stable and easier to use. To repeat, the issue was not the ski but an undersized binding. So if you purchase these skis (which I would do), get a NNNBC binding and boot to go with it.
