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

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

The Countach reminded me of a less playful/forgiving Rossignol Black Ops 118.

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

The Countach absolutely smashes through anything you throw at it. It is a crud buster with exceptional suspension and dampness. It does come in fairly heavy, as does the Black Ops 118 mentioned above, but I felt less inclined to get playful or get the Countach airborne. While I did have fun smashing through refrozen chop on the side of groomers at blazing speed, this ski did not push me to want to take it up into steeper more techy terrain.
