I demoed these at Copper ad they totally suck in my opinion. They were way to soft in the tail and tip. In powder they were mediocre, but anywhere else they sucked. My scratch fs were stiffer and were almost better in powder. This is my opinion what do you guys think.

i dunno my friend liked it a lot
he said they were "stiffer in the tail for backcountry hucking" but that's BS. they feel like crap in my opinion.
A lot of people like em though.

the pocket rocket/gun might be the most controversial ski in history - or at least it seams that way. extremely hated and loved. point is, you gotta find the sticks that work for you. imo i love the gun. it has worked for me. yes it is soft - but, no matter what people say - you can charge on it. and no, i am not a small guy.

i love my guns, i have next years, the one replacing the s lab, and its insane in powder and fairly stiff in the tail, but since its so wide it sucks on groomers, but groomers suck anyways
