I ride a 181 outlaw (wider version of the recon) for nearly ALL my skiing (including park)...

I can't stand the lack of performance park specific skis have, and need a little more beef under foot...

I love the looks I get when I clean a big rainbow or c-rail at n-star on a pair of "all-mountain" skis....


I don't use the integrated system though, got mine flat mounted +4 cm from reference...

I have my PE's and Seth's but my outlaws just plain kick ass....skiing switch at 40mph down steep groomers while leaving 2-inch deep ruts makes all the women scream

Apache Recons suck. My shop gave me a free demo on them and I hated them. Very poor response, not wide enough for true powder use, and pretty crappy edge hold compared to other skis with vertical sidewalls.
