Alright, so I've done this review a bunch of times. This is one of the BEST skis I've EVER ridden, It is soft in the nose, so excellent butters, but stiff enough in the tail to keep you up on big jumps. The ski is pretty much indestructible, the base is made to hold up to anything and it does. It can hold an edge in some of the iciest conditions (I ski in Connecticut - SO much ice). The only downside is that since the core is so strong it makes the ski kinda heavy, but I only really noticed it when I was carrying it around, not really while I was skiing - even in the park. Other than that, the ski is BALLER, I totally recommend it.
