Well I got mine for 399 on a boxing day sale size 178 mounted -2, I weigh 140 or so and I'm 6'1 or around there.
First day I took them up on the slopes was in whistler day after Christmas so it was really rocky. First thing I notice was it was a very stable ski and Turns really really well. So I decided to take it through some powder, they handle really well in powder also. The second day I went to ride park, first thing I notice it felt really nice to ride switch and really great in park.
Downsides are due to tall side walls and I mean really tall sidewalls top sheet  gets the hell scratched out of it and I mean really really chipped up after for 2 weeks worth of riding not the newest looking ski, but other then that is the best ski I've ridden hope it helps.
