Anyone has any experience with these? I know this ain't a jib ski, but how do they charge? We're talking a 191 here. I can pick up a pair (demo'd a little) for 200€ and I really want a ski like that. One that can CHARGE, deep stuff or not.

It's 'only' 108mm under foot, but the widest ski I've ever skied so far is like 90mm, so that should be a big enough difference. I'd like a jib pow ski (190+cm), but a steal like that I don't wanna let go if it's worth buying.

How do they handle when it's not really deep, crud, blower pow, groomers?

:)

Ski met normale camber, geen rocker, stijve flex, grote radius.. Heb er nooit op gestaan hoor, maar wat ik heb gelezen; hard knallen, lange bochten, prima carven met normale camber over hele ski lijkt me..108 is zeker niet de breedste, maar omdat je zo'n ski toch op snelheid en met lange bochten moet skien krijg je vanzelf wel float.. Leuk om in je quiver te hebben voor in de slechtere/oudere sneeuw en serieuze lijnen.. Als ze in goeie conditie zijn zeker een prima deal..

Lijkt me ook!

Moeten we dan maar doen lijkt me.

Wanneer is de site nou *eindelijk* eens af? Ik kijk elke twee weken, maar zonder veel succes :(

Ok, but would you go like treeskiing with them? Because they're not really nimble are they?

ANTs suck in the trees. There are so many other skis that can do everything ANTs can do (many can do them better) and are much much better in the trees. The ANTs were a great ski when they first arrived on the scene, but have long become antiquated with all of the skis available nowadays. I could start a list of all the skis that are better but I would be here all day. That and I would be listing a whole host of ON3Ps and it would look like I was extremely biased.

Lol. But picking up a pair for 150€ aint bad. I'm 6"5, so I need a big ski. I saw a deal for NEW ARG's for 225€ (never mounted), but I'm afraid those are too short for me.

Very outdated skis, there is just many skis that are wat better than the ANT's, so my advice is to not get them, look for something new, ex the new Gotama.
