Pros they are a cheap ski...Cons they are a cheap ski... But really soft and playful, like a kitty cat.

Nope those are 2011s... which is a great thing my friend. They are lighter, wider, and rockered... all in all far better than the previous silencers. Pro skier Matt Margetts (sp?) rocked them all last year as his competition pipe ski... and he's pretty awesome so I can't imagine he'd choose to ride a bad ski?

This year they re-named them the 'sight' which details and videos can be seen here:

All around you should expect a semi stiff (stiffer than line anthems, but not volkl status), poppy, light-weight ski... I'm betting you'll enjoy it.
