I demo'ed them on an icy day once. Not ideal conditions, but they were super stable and very damp and held a decent edge. This wouldn't be the perfect ski for tight trees, narrow chutes, bumps, or other situations where a nimble ski is called for, but they'd do the job. I'd love to have a pair of the 194s in my quiver for days when I want to do big hucks or days when don't feel like turning.
