these are supposed to be sick, local shop rider showed me his and said they were the best he had skied this spring of the new models. They had a soft enough flex, and big enough tail to rock the park as well as all mountain. they are 92 underfoot, so not super wide. come in 177 and 187. WHAT ARE THESE SKIS CALLED?!?!?!?!?

Atua's, which are the moss colored ones, are 96mm waist and only available in a 186. The Kehua's are the red ones, 92mm waist and only available in a 177. Your shop guy needs to re-read the 05-06 Fischer catalog.

no it's my fault, not his, he said they were coming out with a similar ski in a 186, I just said it wrong.
