PLEASE ELABORATE ON ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SKI. FEEL FREE TO GO INTO DETAIL!

I skied this ski for basically 1 run at blister summit 2024. I found the ski very heavy and damp and hard to get edge to edge. It was a lot of work for me to ski it. I almost lost it skiing through the trees of headwall. Pretty damp and stable but I did not get along well with this ski.
