My previous skis were the original super speed bomber Atomic big daddy (orange) 193, Dynastar XXL 194 PRO, Scratch BC Yellows 185, Scratch BC Black 185, Obsethed (purple)189. I have been skiing the Krypto and yesterday at Snowbird I skied the Kryptolite 187 protoype. The Kryptolite can do what every ski above can do and more. Super versatile, smooth and stable through chop. Really good float but still holds a hard edge on hard pack. I'm a huge Klint fan.
