Ninthward says, "This ski is the choice of hardcore all mountain/park skiers everywhere."

Does it really perform well outside of the park?

it means that park skiers everywhere as in people all around the world like the ski, not that a park skier can take it everywhere.

Says that it is the choice of all-mountain/park skiers everywhere. Seems to me like that would include all mountain skiing.

I've never ridden the ski but would assume because it is a somewhat narrow ski with a stiff flex and traditional camber it would be alright outside the park. Not as good as a fatter, rockered ski, but still alright.

Demo them and see, thats your best bet. Everyone skis differntly, I have seen on here people say a certain ski is good al mountain, but when I ski that ski it may be awfull for my style, so its all personal perfernce for the most part. Go try them and then you will know if they suit your style or not.

i mean they'll be fine for most resorts and inbounds stuff, but if you try to take them in deep powder you won't have a good time. a few inches they'll be ok

Yea, normally I would demo, but my ski shop doesn't carry them, so if I want them I'll have to order. And I'm not really concerned with pow, I ski east coast, so it will mostly be groomers, good to hear they may be good in a couple inches of fresh. +k to all
