It looks like its mainly a pow/all mountain ski. I haven't really heard much about it. But I think most rockered skis work well in the park.

Rockered park ski usually allow a stiffer ski, but with the ability to butter from the rocker.

There are some crazy shots in here with some S3s:


S3s are actually pretty fun in the park, they don't have an amazing amount of pop, but they're still pretty good. Great for presses and butters, and surface swaps are almost automatic.

I can tell you right now, playing around on rockered skis is well worth any decrease in park performance.  The s3's are definately a stretch for park, but you will have fun on them.  (or get Domains like me)

I have las years S3's and there basicaly the same as this year and I use them for everything! pow, park and even some backyard jibin. Great ski, the have a heavy feeling to them obviously beacause they are a biger ski. and you cant carve as hard on groomers because there isn't as much camber as the traditional park ski.

Awsome one ski quiver

I switched over to 179 kung fujas as my almost everyday ski and got used to the extra weight and it is so much easier to butter around on them. Haven't skiied them in any pow yet but i'm sure it will be bomb.

Goddamnit, I saw that and clicked play thinking "okay, just to see the McChesney, you are not watching the entire edit, you've seen it too many times before."

Fuck.
