Not going to lie, big Moment fan, but this was way too much ski for me. The tails were extremely stiff and once locked in did not like to release early. I am used to skiing with a fairly centered playful stance and charging when I need to. While I did have some fun with these skis, especially driving them hard, it felt like if I let up or was distracted for just a moment they were going to bite me which did not encourage me to push the limit on messed up snow or terrain.
