I agree with you on that, the only thing i'd be worried about with those is the occasional mn park day with some groomers, if you think about isnt just like an oversized park ski?

get the one life and its like a pow/ big mountain ski that can do it all. i take mine in to the park like once a week and have a ton of fun doing presses and butters and such. they spin really well too.
