Was getting dumped on at last trip to Vail, like a foot a day for 3 days. I wanted to demo more of a powder ski than my X-Screams. Boy, did these things deliver. I usually ski a 175cm so I was a bit hesitant to go with the 165cm. The shortness didnt bother me at all, still skied like a longer board. This board really goes all over the mountain with a BMW like feel to them. Awesome edge-to-edge transition. Just floated through the pow with ease. It loved bumps, steeps, and even the groomers, but loved the pow the best. One thing I didnt like was the twin tip. Im 45 years old, so I really would of like this ski without the twin, but it really only bothered me when side stepping on flats or in the lift line, never while skiing.
