They're a very easy ski. Whatever you want to do, they'll make it happen. weakness is ice, and super steeps, but in turn they float rather well for a 100mm ski. There buttery and easy to turn. They dont handle very high speeds well, but there still a very fun ski. Its a great ski to learn new tricks on. They can handle pow/park/ easy all mountain.
the 12/13 has some nose/tail snapping issues, but mostly only for experts/pros who push them to the limit. I wouldnt recommend them for a hot shot skier, there simply too soft for anything big.
