Anybody hear about these? There was an article in Powder about them. 130 underfoot. Conventional sidecut, unlike the Spatulas. Still has the reverse camber. Tails are skinnier than the tips so they sink down in the back in the deep stuff

 Not at all. Better in differnt areas maybe, but not for pure pow. I did not get Pontoons so I could ski them every where every day, just a few times a year. Sure other newer skis are sick as hell, no question there, but they have a different focus. But seeing I already have a traditional pow ski(obsethed), these are a huge bonus to a quiver.

Not to dis-credit Bents, ARG's, Jp's or bibby's, this is just a differnt ski.

True that.

There's no ski that ca top the 'toons in the deep. Except for maybe full on reverse sidecut skis, like praxis powders.
