THIS SKI’S IDEAL SNOW CONDITIONS: Softer, but not deep snow | Untracked powder (shallow)

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

Had to be on you game at times. Not as forgiving as I expected. Tails in particular could get away from you. Upper intermediate to advanced

ARE THERE SIMILAR PRODUCTS YOU’VE SKIED THAT YOU CLEARLY PREFER? IF SO, WHY?

Very much prefer the M-Pro 100 from Dynastar Folsom Spar Turbo or Moment Deathwish 104.

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

Does everything but needed to stay pretty centered or tails wash. Likes speed. Tails kept me from attacking steeps. Fun but touchy.
