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

This is my daily driver on the east coast and Midwest. I have had it out in a variety of terrain and conditions and it handles everything very well. It is lightweight, so it requires some agility rather than brute force for chop and crud, but it holds an edge well when needed (triple camber!) while releasing/slarving easily. Loads of fun.
