i ride the concepts, and they have been amazing in every aspect of the mountain, powder, park, rails, tables, pipe, chuff, off piste, courderouy, the works..... there the best ski iv ever ridden
In response to what I would ride besides Candides (which I do ride), it would probably be Volkls or Armadas (because I hear the ar5 is stiff). A soft ski blows...at least on the midwest hardpack.
