Nothing but great things to say about the Karmas, they're the best twin to ski the mountain on, bar none. They're burly enough to be able handle hardpack, ice, and crud with ease, while being just wide enough to make them versatile enough to go into the woods or powder. They're pretty stiff though, and aimed at a stronger skier, both physically and in ability. If you ski more powder than anything else, then I'd go with a wider ski, I don't use my Karmas when its dumping like mad out.
