Been thinking about getting some and I wanted to know how people like them. The width obviously is a huge selling point but the lack of rocker seems weird on a dedicated powder ski and 10 pounds is an actual tank. What is the flex like compared to Vishnu Wides? Do they go on sale? What pivots fit?

For sure but do you feel the need to be a bit weight back or is it more of a natural float? What does the rocker feel like IRL it looks brutally cambered in the picture.

I have a pair (2019 i think - red car graphic) I got for cheap from a friend who didn't like them.

They are not a laid back, soft, surfy ski but insanely fun once you get used to them. You will be constantly harassed in lift lines with remarks about how wide your skis are.

Can't speak to how they ride but I do know the company usually runs a wicked sale at the end of each season. Usually slash their prices to like $500 to clear out last year's inventory. You can also email them if they have any blems and he'll cut you a deal
