These skis are a taste of heaven for what they do: soft snow and powder.
Get them! Get them! Get them!

I would say they are a quiver ski: if this is your only ski, I hope you can pick and choose your days or you have secret powder stashes hidden all over the mountain.

At 6'1 and 170lbs, I skied the 189 pontoons and found no adjustment to skiing them from my other skis (188 Armada JJ, 168 Magfire 10). I had read lots of reviews on this ski and will confirm the following:
In soft snow these are indeed heaven. They have a very soft tip which cannot be sunk and just keep floating on. The length is not noticed at any point as the ski is effortless to turn. Compared to my JJ's they are heavier, but they feel light on the feet in the powder.
In chopped up, the big tips seem to help the ski ride above it all. Again, soft snow makes life easy.
In soft pack, THEY DO RAIL well, however you are not carving anything resembling an aggressive turn. They like going fast but after a few days I would call them confidence inspiring.
They were fine on a hard pack cat-track back, carrying great speed and not having me afraid of bailing without notice.
On ice they hurt your quads and your feelings, especially when trying to spill all that speed the skis made you pick up.

Bottom line:
Fat float powder ski for those fresh snow days!
I love playful skis and these guys keep me happy while letting me charge as well.

--- Word of warning on the 103 design ---
I've owned both the TNF 103 and 104. The 103 (design is very very similar to this 105 as stated by Jim) was plagued with issues of durability:
The leather on the sides of the shoe by the base of your toes (i.e. where the rubber toe cap meets leather as pictured) would tear after about 6 months of use. This happened to my shoes (mainly city walking use) as well as those of 2 friends with the same.
Time will tell if they fixed this in the 105.
The 104 had no such issues.

Otherwise, both shoes are amazing. The 104 wider style I found to be more comfortable. My feet are kept dry through rainy days in the PNW hiking around. Comfortable as sneakers which you can take hiking and out into the rain.

The shape of the prodigy's have a more box cut (compared to an Oakley A-frame) and as a result fits great with the cutout of my helmet. Alot of helmets I see have a cutout that's more square than round, so a goggle like this sits flush.

I've got Sensor mirror lenses: Amazing!
Had them in a 0 vis day back-country in clouds. Anything your naked eye can detect without them on gets the contrast boosted with the goggles on. Not to say your eye couldn't see them if you really tried hard, but if you're going down a run, you want any crud to stand out and the sensor mirror does that.

You can also customize the frames' look with removable "highlight" pieces (one at the top like a uni-brow, and one under each eye on the bottom). Seems less sturdy when you flex it in your hands since there are removable parts but it's of no concern. I switched mine to straight black for a solid black frame and like it alot.

I picked up a pair of these for a good deal as my ski pant for Whistler. Used them 28 times at W/B in and out of bounds and they served me well.

I'm a 32-32 when it comes to jeans (I like my jeans to fit a little loose like most do) and I picked up the large based on the 32" inseam. Pants fit but are quite baggy (enough that I have to pull em up when I clip in). Waist is big so belt is a must. Looks damn good on the hill though.

As far as waterproofing, I had no complaints through the year. They were never cold, never hot and the crotchzips + extra pockets are key. I also leave my pass safely inside them since there's a built in clip that keeps it form slipping out my pocket. I have NO need for anything but a pair of Goretex bib pants now.

I picked up this pack to use for weekend back-country camping trips.
Having used a friend's Serratus 85L pack I noticed some differences.
I have a really tall torso and the tall pack was perfect (6'1 with 32 length pants).

The thermoform back with good lumbar curve made packing as easy as stuffing things in. The straps allow for easy tuning while on the move and keeps all the weight beautifully on the hips. The thermoform hip supports feel stiff and rigid, but end up being *extremely* comfortable and lightweight when compared to very padded packs.

The only improvement I would ask for would be twin zippers on the side access zipper so that you can get to the bottom of the pack without having to unzip the whole side (maybe not possible with waterproof zippers).

Great pack!
