i bought these skis of tramdock for a very reasonable price, so i wasnt expecting anything crazy. these skis are fun, super stiff (if you like a stiff ski like myself), and handle great. however, i started skiing pre-season rails in october and within the first couple sessions, the edge detiorated. this is no big deal, it happens to alot of skis, but the entire ski delamed, after a month and a half of rail skiing. i didnt hit a single jump and the entire ski blew to pieces. scott will not warranty them, so i dont recomend buyng these skis, unless you plan on buying several pairs. normally, i would recomend this ski simply because i enjoyed it, it is fun, very different than all the other skis out there. but i dont recmend you buy it if you actually ski in the park. if you want to be cool and buy a pairof twins and hit groomers all day, this ski is for you. if you ski and type of park at all, look elsewhere, like armada or something high quality. thats all i have to say about tis ski
