mantoastI rode this years at the beginning of the season sold them 2 months in. Would of sold them a week in if I had other skis. They have 0 flex underfoot and they don't get "soft" until the tips. Heavy, Edges sucked, durability was eh alright. But I hated them swing weight was atrocious too. Personally I rode a few other brands and I chose revision's talisman much softer but still stable although they're cambered. Almost identical dimensions too and half the price. Talisman 176 132-96-122 Rossi slat 176 122-97-112. Hope that helps some
SurfboardDon't listen to this.
mantoastIve got strong legs and they're no problem to swing just don't feel right. And I do admit they're good for carving and they chop through the slush Nice. But I just felt they rode like 2x4s I really like the rossi storms though they're lighter and feel more nimble but they camber so they stay nice and stable flex I would say is about what he said the slats are. But to me I like a noodle so the slat felt stiff in my eyes
WattsWhy shouldn't OP listen to his review? People are allowed to have opinions on things, and when buying something expensive like skis, it's good to get as many opinions as possible, even if some contradict each other. This is why people need to put things like their height, weight, and skiing style when reviewing a product. A ski will feel drastically different to two people based on how big they are, what their skiing style is, and what kind of skis they normally like. Giving this info will also help OP make a more informed decision since he'll be able to then best match his own size and ski style to the reviews of products people are giving him.
SurfboardThat 2x4 feeling comes from that fact that they seem very torsionally stiff, something I enjoy.
mantoastI know what you mean there, I'm more of that able to flex underfoot a bit but the slats did rid stable in the chop,
I should add I'm 5'6 184 and rode 176 and 182s the 82s were a little much for the 76 was nice though. Aggressive riding like to bomb hills and slam into stuff haha
