I just read the most recent review of this ski, and have to disagree with the recommendation to stay away from this ski if you are heavy. I weigh 225 lbs and purchased a pair of the 185 cm 1080 guns (2005-06 model) toward the end of last ski season after demoing them in Zermatt, Swz. I couldn't be happier with the ski. It is very responsive, and glides over the powder much better than many of the other skis that I have tried such as the Rossi Scratch BC and the K2 Public Enemy (both sold as powder skis). My last pair of skis was the 2004-05 Darkside, by Line, and I think this ski outperforms that as well. My personal recommendation is to get this ski if interested in serious off-piste trails.

I really enjoy this helmet for its comfort and reliability. It fits my head very nicely and the vent adjustment is very easy to do on-the-fly. I have had this helmet for two years now, and have used it in conditions varying from -15 F at Jackson Hole to 50 F at our local "resort" here in Ohio. In both situations I found a comfortable vent setting that worked for me. The only reason that I gave it a 4 is because the wire is pulling out of the box where you adjust the volume and take calls, so I will probably have to take it apart and resolder it later this season. Great product otherwise.
