I am female 5’7”, 128 lbs it was a little too much ski for me based on hard pack conditions. I want to try again when we have a bit more snow. Ski has great potential it was a lot of work for my size. I am certain it would cut through the crude and provide a lot of flexibility on the mountain for most!
These skis are legitimately euphoria inducing. Have skied on dozens of skis over the years, these are hands down my favorite. Particularly in icy groomer conditions, they help me feel more in control and hold an edge incredibly. They will for sure help you level up your skiing ability!
I've been on these all season, and they are a riot. Super fun, playful and responsive on groomers and hardpack, and enough width to get float in powder. Highly recommend these skis as the perfect daily driver.
Truth be told, I liked the 84 underfoot more then the 88, the full metal sheet felt a little bit more heave and less poppy, but the 84 underfoot is a 5/5 certified fun ski! That I would rip all day
Amazingly stable, rips through everything, does not leave prisoners! Seriously, it's like having two SUVs stripped to your feet.
Great all-around ski! Fantastic on hard snow, good in soft and decent in 6" of powder. Super smooth and stable.
Tried the 84s and had a blast with them. would love to move to the 88s
