Hey guys! So ive been seriously considerig a pair of alpha 1's from my local shop, which I can get for a pretty good deal. I just have a couple of questions about them.

1)How will they do as an eastern Ice/groomer ski, you know, your average vermont conditions.

2) I notice their odd shapeof the frint of the skis, what is that alteration's purpose and what effects does it have on the performance of the ski in the park, on groomers, etc...

Thanks a lot giys for your help, I really appreciate it :D
 
Okay so I demo-ed them on a mean pow day at Sun Peaks in January.

I found them to be extremely fun but skied very short. My normal park ski is 171 so I tried the 171. It was wayy too short and would definitely buy the 176 or 182 if I was to purchase it.

They seemed to slide a lot on the groomed and didn't hold an edge very well (mind you coming off JJs anything would have felt like this).

Swing weight was crazy fast. Spun a 7 on a 10 footer.

Good switch. They handle actually excellently backward.

Try before you buy imo. I personally am going to stay with normal cambered skis. PM if you need more info
