Nice One Skidaisuki. Good to see a new review for skis. More reviews to come hopefully as the season progresses and people get to test their gear a bit more. Looking forward to hear how they behave in the deeper fluff.

Thanks. In the (brief) review I forgot to add my thanks to Fatts and Creekboy, both of whom gave me very useful advice when I was at the decision-making stage.

I have the same skis with Salomon S12 bindings. I like these skis for days that im staying on piste or just pouching a bit. They pound through crud and they have good pop when making fast turns. They make groomers fun.

As far as off piste they have good float for a mid fat but nothing compared to a fat ski. If you get into deep stuff you will be wishing for a bigger ski.

I have noticed they get a bit chattery at stupid fast speeds. So if thats your game you probably want to get something stiffer like a full on race ski.

ahem, excuse me, but isn't that a pic of the Public Enemy?

Yeah, it is. I PM'd SJF about it a while ago, never heard anything though.
