You can lay down trenches on them on groomers, never having to worry about boot-out. But they do like longer faster turns. Whipping out short carves on them is a bit more of an effort as it is a wider ski. They work fine in the park too if you mount them further up.

they handle better switch than my scratch fs's. and yes, if you are looking to get them, do it. i love them. i use them for ice, crud, slush, pow (of course), but not park. i could use em for park, but thats wat i have the scratches for.

i recently mounted the ones i had for sale, and im glad i moutned them.

they are sick in everything, and amazing in the park. they dig trenches like that one fellar up there said, either switch or forward. they are siiiick.

mine are mounted at +5 and are perfect for everyday ripping.

+5!!!! they are the most sold and fun ski I have ever had. They straight up rip turns, through crud, ice, chunky shit, cruddy chunky icy shit and of course pow. They take a little getting used to, but they are amazing.
