I took my new seth vicious up for the first time on sunday and they worked great. My set up is the Vicious 169 with the new rossi scratch 120 bindings mounted at plus five on the ski graph. For the first half of the day I mainly skied alot off steeps and powder with a few clifs ranging from 5-8 feet. The skis did amazing in all of these catagories. While my friends were strugaling in the powder (it was really deep, I just floted on top. I wiegh about 130lbs and the skis were a little chatery in more choped up snow but other than that were great during the morning. After lunch I skid more on groomed runs to get the feel of the skis. They worked very well in those conditions as well, just being a little slower edge to edge then skiiner skis. As the upper mnt closed I started skiing the easyer runs fakie. At plus five the ski was good fakie as well. The only problem was it was a little harder to innitiate a turn then it was skiing forward. This might have been different if they were mounted at true center instead. On the last run I skied a section of mougles and was very suprised by the ski. It did not turn to slow and performed well. When I first got these skis I was a little worried about how big they were (they are about 1cm taller then I am) because K2 meassueres the Maidden and Vicious differently then the rest of their skis. However the ski worked well for me. I would recimend these skis to people who ski atleast 30 percent powder. The mountain I was at does not have a park so I did not get find out how they do in there but I will soon. If you rarely ski powder this ski is not for you. And if any one plans on buying this ski I would recemend that the buy a lttle bigger then normal. For my set up and what I skied I would give this ski about 9 out of 10 because no ski can get a 10 out of ten.
