| Demoed these thinking I might buy a pair to supplement my Havocs. Like Alex said, the Zealot doesn't like small turns. As a tele-skier this was the first and most noticeable issue I have. They respond well in varied conditions and snow-type, and I enjoy the stiffness, but jeez I couldn't get these things to turn quickly in trees or hitting bumps. If you are all about big lines and steeps without turns, these could be for you. |

| I'm 6'2", 165 lbs, rode these on Black Diamond 01s with RidStiff cartridges. Skied the 182's in 14 inches fresh at Alta on Saturday.
The first three runs on these were phenomenal, they CHARGE it in fresh snow, very stable, and really respond if you throw some weight into them. They definitely prefer longer radius turns, although you can force them into some medium-short radius if you really throw your body around (someone who weighs more than I do might have an easier time of it).
Once the snow got cut up, however, the performance of the skis started to slip. They just didn't seem to have the same energy and life that they did in the fresh. A real handful in the trees, not for tight spaces. I ended up switching back to my K2 Anti-Pistes at around 12:30 pm.
Just not versatile enough to be high on my list of favorites... |

| Alpine or tele? 03-23-09 |

| I'm sure these would rip as an alpine ski, and I would love to give them a shot. But I actually took these out and learned how to tele on them. Honestly I had a blast, but I can't compare them to other skis as I have never tele'd before. But what I did notice is that these things seemed to be really stable after I got the hang of it. They definitely wanted to go much faster then I could, so if you have been tele skiing for a while and like to charge, I would say these are for you. |

| These are extremely stiff skis and not at all made for tele mark skiing but they are good for a person who is very heavy set and needs a pair of skis that can take the weight and they are extremely light. |

| Less turns, more speed 03-17-09 |

| I've grown accustomed to making many short turns to keep my speed in check on my prior skinny skis, but this tactic is no longer necessary. Instead, you can just point these babies and go, they are relentless beasts in most backcountry conditions you will encounter- so be ready jet. |
