exactly, but it's pretty bombproof. if you like the specs of the PE but want something with a little more snap and liveliness, check out this year's extreme. same internals, but no more ptex topsheet, so its lighter and slightly less damp.
Really solid ski. I have the 07's and i've used them for everything, including urban, and i still dont have an edge crack anywhere. I used them at the pool all fall so they are really really soft and buttery now, so much fun. But i did just get the extremes, cant wait for them to come in.
