I haven't personally had experience on these since we just got them in, but I'll be taking a pair out soon and posting a review. They are meant to do well on the whole mountain as well as the park. Parks are all groomed so this ski would be at home on a groomer.
I want a ski that will perform on the hardpack as well as moguls and powder. I am an eastern skier who likes to go out west occasionally. What do you think?
I am wondering about the flex and flex pattern? i love skis i can butter on, and how this one compares to candides and Colbys?
How bout the flex compared some Surface No times? Or a LINE park ski? I'm looking for something super retrogressive and easy to butter.
These are quite a bit stiffer than both the Line Afterbang and any of surfaces park skis. They are going to be a more solid platform for stomping landings. The line and surface skis are going to be much harder to control at higher speeds because they are such noodles. If you are looking for a butter ski, this will still butter! It will be tougher to get into the butter but once you pop into your spin, it will explode into it.
Im looking for a ski that i will ride all over the mountain but i like riding park, rails, boxes etc but is soft enough for jibs and just playing around. how will these compare?
This is a great all-Mountain ski. It is not the stiffest ski on the market but by no means is it soft. I think it has the perfect mixture for a great park ski. It is very poppy so you can explode out of butters but still solid enough that you can stomp landings without worry of washing out. I ski something similar to this as my all-mountain ski and I love it. I personally don't think that a soft ski makes a jib ski, Soft skis make for a noodle of a ski that is not durable all over the mountain.
If you were to compare this to a LINE ski, what would you compare it to?
Here is my review on em

How are they on a groomed run?
