Very Gould looking high performance ski, however it built to last maybe one season. Half way trough this season with about 6 days of ski all edges chipped , may not effect the performance but already look older than my old skis after 10 years
Hey, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We often adjust our products based on direct customer feedback. We will make sure to pass this along to our designers for consideration in future products.
I have been on these for over 2 seasons both on area and touring. I have them mounted with 22 designs telemark bindings. They are wonderful all around skis and very fun to ski. Good float in powder, firm enough for hard snow, forgiving and playful. They seem as durable as any ski and have had no issues with the edges.
I've skied the past 2 winters on these bad boys and they rip. First winter I was mostly at Whistler carving up a storm and hitting the high alpine bowls. From groomers to pow to airtime I always feel good on these skis. Last winter I was teaching at Mt Seymour and they held up super well to kids bailing and new skiers running over them. Also a ton of fun hitting all the side hits! Perfect for a playful ski that can still edge super well and float better than it's waist width suggests.
Bought this at REI, used for 1/2 a season, maybe about 10 days. Overall it’s a fun ski but it does not hold up, the edges are already chipped, and they look like I’ve had them for 5 seasons. Returning them.
Bought these, and set them up with Shift 13s, to use exclusively for touring. Some folks here in Jackson say they're too narrow. I disagree. They climb great, ski great, and hold up great.
