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

I am not quite sure who this ski is aimed at as to me it feels a bit like a park ski which can ride the whole mountain. I ride a bit of park myself but would rather have a 2 ski quiver with a dedicated park ski like the Armada Edollo which will be destroyed on rails etc. anyway and then a dedicated all mountain ski vs just trying to make one ski do everything.

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

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

This ski felt like a park ski that could truly be taken all over the mountain. While it did not excel in the steeps or trees it managed to hold its own and did not feel out of place. It did not wow me in any particular area but it also did not disappoint in any of the conditions I rode it in.
