The Karma will probably dive, based solely on its dimentions. If you want a ski that floats, get a pow ski!

it definitely doesnt dive. but it sure as hell doesnt float either. i used it on about 10 powder days last year and it worked really well. just buy em. i promise u wont be disappointed.

yea i don't plan on using them everyday for pow haha, just when it comes, or when i travel i guess. they sound like the ski for me, do you think that $575 for the ski and Salomon s914 binding is a good price?

Any ski will dive if you mount  it too far forward.  However, a ski that narrow isn't going to float all that well regardless of where you mount it, but tip dive is still really frustrating.
