They are wide so they are good all mountain skis, just watch out for the foam core, spaceframe has a tendency to snap in half.

Don't worry about it.

They float well in powder. Are laterally stiff for carving the groomers. Soft enough in the tip to soak up bumps and jump transitions.

It's a good all-round resort board if you're limited to one ski.

if you are 25percent park, mount them at the reccommended mounting point. They were designed with a sidecut and for you to make best use of that then mount them normal. The only reason for centre mounting is for specialised park skiing.
