This ski is so much fun , it does everything ! You can make short turns, you can make arcing big turns . I skied it in the woods in all sorts of different snow and it was fantastic . I skied it on chunks and death cookies and it was stable and predictable. It held well on ice and could surf the slush with the best of them. I like how it seems to want to arc around and really finish the turn. It is smooth and about the most versatile ski i have been on. I feel as though it improved my skiing and i found no weakness in its perfomance. It is not very demanding but it rewards you when you make aggressive movements. It 's got just the right amount of pop out of the turn finish to make this and awesome ski, I want a pair !
