Overall
For the person that cannot afford multiple pairs of skis that wants to ski everywhere on the mountain this would be a good choice for them. Value and Fun.
Performance
After center-mounting this ski I took some groomer laps down breck making fast, short-radius turns and it held on just fine. Long radius turns it made without a problem. Out of the wrapper factory tune was fast, I had to make one or two additional speed checks/carves/etc... going into the jumpline at breck than anyone else. Edges were sharp, base was flat.
Design
Sidewall-topsheet finish was better than other small companies I have seen.
Value
Good ski for the money, no gimmicks, no frills, solid core material, edges haven't cracked yet.
Fit
180cm is perfect for me, I am 6' 185lbs, anything smaller just would not work for me. The waist width is perfect for an everyday ski you can still slay park with,
Characteristics
I would rate it as a Medium flex, it is stiffer than the Armada ARV, softer than the Moment Tahoe. The flex is very consistent, I would have to attribute this to the bamboo core.
Durability
Will update as the season goes.
