Well they don't have edge armour, so that's definitely a bonus.

i have these skis and they are the best ski ive ridden, over suspects, amplids, lines. the ski itself is suuuper buttery nice and flexy with the 3 stage rocker helping a lot in the park, because they are a little wider they are super solid on jumps and also provide you with a nice surface for rails.

i just got back from skiing them for 3 days straight pounding them on rocks, jumping cliffs, hitting rails, shredding jumps and they have held up super well from a durability standpoint and ive put them through hell. super lightweight, super buttery, 3 stage rocker makes it amazing in the park definitely a good call

well, i have the 2012's. and they are my favorite skis i have ever ridden. im 5'9 145 and i have the 179 cm.

park: super light, low swing weight. medium flex makes butter really fun, rocker ( when you dont get you spins fully around and you land sorta sideways you dont catch and edge, you kinda slide and ski away) really fun on rails....

powdaa: i ddint realize how good these skis were gunna be in pow, first day i used mine, it was knee deep pow and they were soo fun, turned so nice

groomers / allmtn: really fun on natural features, just carving down some runs, turn sooo nice.

im not good at explaining stuff and describing stuff, so hope that helps.

pm if you got questions.

i <3 my 2012's.

I tried out next seasons a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting on another rockered park ski because I own the Alpha 2's.... Personally I didn't like them as much. This was because they didn't handle speed very well and I just wasn't feeling them. However on the good side they are light and poppy!!

few buddies have them and love the, even a few guys who snowboard said they had to take them out for a whirl cause they heard nothing but good things. the skis ride small because of the rockers..def an amazing ski for smaller lightweight riders from what I hear, looking to snag a pair of these myself. If you've ridden the Lord or anything similar this ski is lighter and not as stiff, more poppy
