View attachment 894231Newschoolers' Quick Review:
In terms of value, these skis are right up there. They will work incredibly well for some but not for others. I couldn’t personally ski these as my daily park driver because on an average day I tend to rail around the mountain, ski some cruddy bump runs and high speed all mountain jibs on my park skis and these felt too torsionally soft for that. I find them frankly terrifying at high speed, and they don't hold an edge very well. But on a smaller mountain, for example on the east coast, in the midwest or indoors they are a perfect lightweight park ski. Playing around at low speed, hitting some urban etc these are perfect. Buttering a ton but still needing a lightweight ski to do nine switch ups on a rail, these are perfect. The Honey Badgers are going to make a lot of jibby skiers happy and not cost all that much while they do it. - Twig
(Please note that since this in-depth review the Honey Badger core has been switched from Bamboo to Aspen. The ski footprint and basic properties remain the same.)
