WHAT TYPE(S) OF SKIER DO YOU IMAGINE WILL GET ALONG BEST WITH THIS SKI?

Spent the morning on groomers and completely enjoyed laying down turns! A fun carver that is a versatile ski! Laying down turns the ski gives back a lot of pop. Most surprisingly was how well they performed in moguls.

It was nice to get on a narrow waist ski. I’ve been skiing 94 mm waist and these were excellent!
