Yea they look prett damn rad, I could see them being absolutely amazing in some DEEEP powder, but other wise it would take you like an entire run to turn them twice.

I saw pep on them the other day and he said they were the most fun skis ever, they look so damn weird and fun. When you see them in person you are asking yourself "how could that possibly work"

skied the 189s two weeks ago on a three-foot day at alpine...not to shabby!

much better control than my old spatulas...sick ski, not for everyone...

As long as I did not look at them I felt fine skiing fast, as soon as I looked down and saw how much the tip was flexing it made me mentally speed check myself (we are talking about strgt line speeds through end of day chop)....but it was mostly mental....

Btw...so easy to stick larger airs...there was absolutly no deceleration when landing in pow, POOF you just land and ski away

Yes, they are reverse camber. They do however have a larger flat spot under foot and no reverse sidecut, giving you hard snow control so you don't die on the cat track in between your sick runs:)
