As my screename indicates, I do indeed have a pair of pow'airs. They where my first twin, and my first bought pair of skis. They're nice, a great east coast ski. I find them stiff enough to ski groomers, soft enough to screw around in the park w/, and really a good overall ski. With every 'good overall ski', there are compromises. In this case, the compromises lie in the ski's ability to be really good at anything. It is not a park specific ski, doesnt float in pow pow, and gets a bit jittery when taken into crud and the such. As I've had them for a while, they're beat to shit now and are my rock skis, but they served me well! So if you are looking for a do everything ski on the east coast, these will definately work. For park specific, all mountain, etc., look elsewhere unless you are getting a screamin' deal. Sorry for the long post...
