Skogens are an insane ski. Ive ridden them from the Battleship graphic-all the way to this years model

Super stable at speed, good switch carving, durability is not an issue with these skis. I work at a shop and ive never seen one come back for the famous Line delam. They arent really that heavy either. Great all mtn ski, insane in the park. Worth your money

Super lively all mountain ski. Kills everything besides waist deep powder, and for a park ski it does relatively well in that too. Super light, and fun in park too. I found that in the half pipe, they had a tendency to chatter on an icy wall, but other than that, best skis ever.

Are you guys all on dope? Have you ever ridden any other skis? The Skogans are so squirrely that its hard to go faster than 50% speed without having them chatter all over the place. They are a very light, very flexible ski which makes them lively and nice to maneouver in the air, but more difficult for landings and actually skiing.

They are a little squirrely, but I have straightlined whole 40 degree slopes with mine, and I only exploded once. That's a better record than my teneightes. They really make you feel confident that you can do whatever you want, like make out with Britney Spears, or do an unnatural fakie rodeo 1620 opposite side tail grab.

ive ridden all the rossignol race skis for the past 4 seasons, 1080s two seasons, and this years Vipers, and i still found them to be good skis. nothing like the 9S for carving, but for a twintip they held up really really well. i was able to go about 70km carving tight GS turns and they were fine. i have yet to straight line anything worth bragging about though.

if your a solid skier you wont have a real problem, unless you go liek 100 mph. they're nasty in the park too

I have some skogens, and they are awesome. I think they hold up fine out of the park, I went to snowmass on a powder day and they worked great!

i've been riding the skogens the last two years. i like them alright. they really do swim a ton when your hauling. i'd really like to get a wider ski than them also because i straight sink in powder. i'm going to try to get the new pe's over break

Yeah, Skogens are tons of fun in the park and riding switch, but for a 200 pound guy like myself, they suck ass anywhere else on the mountain. Too soft for my weight, and majorly unstable at speed. Just too damn flexy.
