yeah my dad skis the volkl 6 stars. they are like the next step up from the 5 stars. everyone looked at my dad in the shop and told him to get the 5 star because he looks like an old dude who would suck, but he said fuck off and got the 6 star because he used to live in colorado. he loooooooves them. they are pretty stiff and work well on groomers and in moguls. they are pretty narrow i think though
