I demo'd a pair last year and didn't like them.  they just didn't seem lively at all.  They weren't bad and i only skied them for like 3 runs on a groomer so I didn't use them for their intended use but I still didn't like them much.

I liked them. I'm 5'6", 120 pounds and demo'd the 181cm and 174cm at Whistler. 181 Was too much for me, but 174 was just right. They feel like a good western all mountain ski. Lots of float in the pow, solid enough in crud/bumps/trees, could carve much better than my park skis on groomed snow, and weren't too heavy to use in the park. In general, lighter weight or less aggressive riders seem to like them, while heavier/more aggressive riders find them noodley.

hahaha


but yeah I used to own guns til I sold them last season
and they are actually really good imo
you can pretty much take it anywhere and it will perform
they truly shine in powder but i've used them in pretty much all conditions
not the best in park but you can still throw some spins
i am not the best park rider so I can't tell you much
but yeah they are really good overall, carves well too
and they are fairly light

the only down i'd say is the price
definitely not on the cheap side
