An absolutely unbelievable ski. I could CHARGE in the trees like you see in the movies, and if it got to tight i could shut down speed in an instant. in the open pow it just floated and let me play around with the mountain because of instant control you have. by noon most was tracked out, but contrary to popular belief the ARG still is fun. true at high speeds on groomers it's scary, but as long as the snow is soft, cut up, or just not hardpack the ski still rides pretty well. you can't carve but you just kinda slide your arced turns. this ski made me feel like THall in believe, and i cannot wait for the next pow day. Also don't be afraid to bring them out on light pow days: we only got 4-5 inches, and it was still incredible.
