Better than the average park ski in powder I would guess.

if your looking for a park ski that will be ok in pow, get reno rockers. they're 10mm wider underfoot then alphas so they will have even better float

i would say no, it would be really bad in pow. i haven't ridden it, so i cant say, but even with its reverse sidecut in the tip and tail, which i still dont see how that would help in pow, a ski with an 81 mm waist is not going to float. i know that some people on here have them but i think its too early in the season to get a good answer

yeah, compared too any other park ski it'd probably be a good choice if you have only one ski for everything.

it does have the elf shoe tech, which is a li'l bit of rocker and five point sidecut, like the arg and jj, but at a 81 waist not a great powder ski. It is designed as an all mountain park ski, better for soft snow.
