They are light and float well; they turn easy when paired up with light weight Alpina BC/Tele boot (plastic/leather). It's the lightness that makes them pretty nice to traverse. I replaced an old school pair of Black Diamond's with kick pattern that after years I could turn in Cascade powder. These have the same shape as second-gen shaped skis and turn really easy and quick once they float. Camber is probably a down factor on anything bullet proof or groomed. But you need the kick pattern and camber if you like to go not just down but everywhere. I would not suggest over-burdening the ski with heavy boots or bindings.

I replaced some 15-year-old Leki Extremes—because I wanted something new, not needed. These will stand the test of time.

I’m getting older and don't want the weight or all the speed of racing skis, these were a great deal: very light, durable, pretty quick when driven, don't know about pow, but they will excel given lively feel and a little softness in the tail. The binding system works fine; seems like I could blow it out, but the ski absorbs a lot of shock. Me: expert/ski cascades/some pow, teaching a 4-year-old they work out great.
