"does it handle well fucking bombing the groomers in between lines"
"is it as easy to ski as the 3.0 but a lot chargier"

"can i use this ski in Switzerland as my one ski quiver considering all we do is hunt pow"

- yeah, it's a very fun pow ski.

"does it handle well fucking bombing the groomers in between lines"

- if you tend to make faster / longer turns, the CT 4.0 is solid on edge. That said, it's not very easy at all to carve tight turns (which is not surprising, given its sidecut radius). But get it up to speed, and it can be a lot of fun on smooth, firmer snow.

"is it as easy to ski as the 3.0 but a lot chargier"

- I would say it's definitely not as easy to ski as the 3.0, but it is a lot more solid and stable at speed. The CT 4.0 is a pretty big, stiff, straight ski, so it's far from the easiest ski at slow speeds, but will hold up much better than the 3.0 at higher speeds.

I wish but I have enough powder in BC to hold me over until I can travel to Europe.
