from the first time i demoed them i knew i needed a pair..now i have 2, 171s and 181s..fucken sick ski i ride whistler and you can really tell the ski was built with that mtn in mind. they will hold an edge on anything, super stable in the park and solid in the pipe, but they really shine freeriding, to this day they're still the only ski i can make switch pow turns with, great floatation. ive ridden hundreds of skis in my time, in my opinion these are pimp shit, a solid 10 golden bananas
