i have them. i love them. but demo them first if you can. i've ridden a lot of skis, and these definitly have a very different feel to them... a wide waist combined with a deep sidecut and exremely forward mount is gonna take a few runs to get used to. with that said, they're good carvers, light,and a very solid all around ski. the flex is even, and medium soft. if you only want one set of sticks for everything, get the pollards.
a side-note is that this is probably the only ski i've ever ridden where the sidecut works AS well going switch as it does going forward.
