i have a pair and they are great for hitting jumps they have alot of pop. im not set on them as a rail ski though i would rather have camber underfoot but they are capable.in heavier snow they feel like your on rails when you really open them up but that could be because they are a center mounted ski, its hard to lose speed on them is what im saying. i have the open scimitar and i am guessing that is what your refering too. i like them but im probably gonna switch to the scratch.
