Are they good skis? I'm trying to decide between karmas and seths.

I know they're ugly as sin...

depends on where ur skiing, as for the karmas, i got them and they ski (really ski) better than most twins, plus if ur on and off piste the waist width is more versitile

karmas rip all over the mountain.. they are super stiff though like someone else said so make sure you can handle them

Nothing but great things to say about the Karmas, they're the best twin to ski the mountain on, bar none. They're burly enough to be able handle hardpack, ice, and crud with ease, while being just wide enough to make them versatile enough to go into the woods or powder. They're pretty stiff though, and aimed at a stronger skier, both physically and in ability. If you ski more powder than anything else, then I'd go with a wider ski, I don't use my Karmas when its dumping like mad out.

Theyre not super stiff, theyre stiffer then an average twintip but softer then many of the other all mountain skis with same waist width but without twintip.

If you live somewhere where its quite hard often and you dont get that much pow and ski in the slopes pretty much i think you will like em, and if you are pretty heavy.
