I haven't skied on these yet but I have last year's ski and I've been on it since November 8th,when we opened. Daily work ski. Unfortunately we're in the slippery tilted concrete stage of the man made season. Easy to flick these around, snappy and responsive, perfect for patrol work, for me they carve and hold and edge. I keep them tuned and waxed every week. The Ti 's will be mounted with 22 Designs Bandits driven by new Scarpa TX Pros. Currently I'm running Marker Griffins on last year's model. So one for Alpineone for Tele. Can't wait, there getting mounted now finally. Luv em!
I work in retail and have been using this ski for a month now and I am really satisfied with it, have it mounted with a Salomon S/Lab Shift 13 and it is as fun for Ski Touring as it is for Alpine Skiing. It is also very robust and playful.
Everything BD claimed about these beauties is true. I can't wait to get out and see how they do going uphill and downhill this winter.
