the bridge is the ski that the local shop was pointing me at...i ski almot 50/50 park/all mountain...and i get a couple great powder days a year. i ski a lot of steep stuff in the east coast and a lot of glades when im out of the park..are these the skis i want
 
im sure there fine on rails, well built and all, their reputation doesnt come free, ive never skiwed them, skied karmas a fair bit. lots of people have walls so i would imagine people belive in them
 
let me give you the full on scoop on this skis.

just used them for the first time at cannon this past saturday. if you know cannon, its generally cold and icey. even with a foot of snow on wednesday it was still pretty hard and slick.

im used to skiing on head mojo 90s, if thats any indication of my level of scale of ski stiffness for you. for a pure jibber, these skis would be too much. theyre heavier, and wider, and they are stiffer. they are noticibley softer than my heads, and stiffer than my friends PE's, from two years ago.

anyway, im 5'8, 155-160 lbs, and i do like to go fast. on the steep groomers, and on hard fast snow, these skis are perfect. it was nice to have edges on these skis, and it was especially fun to cruise real fast and be in complete control. at some high speeds on sketchy snow they did chatter a bit, which the heads did not do.

i took a trip in the woods with these skis early, and over to an adjacent abandoned mtn. in chopped up powder full of twigs and trees, these skis held up really well.

i was looking for a wide, semi stiff, all mtn twin, and this was it. i cant complain about these. i hear theyre might be delam problems, or they sides of the top sheet get chipped.

im kinda distracted right now but feel free to pm me and ill answer any questions
peace
 
can i just bump this for you and others who may need it? i hadnt seen any reviews before so...
 
i demoed the ski yesterday and i didnt like them that much. They felt really weird turning. Not very natural turning and they are really flexible for an "all mountain" ski. Overall i was not very impressed but they would probably be better with time on them.
 
i find that when your cruising on them you can dump speed real easily but just sliding your tips a bit
