It has great responsiveness and is still forgiving on that odd ocassion when something goes wrong. I have taken it on and off piste and it’s been great in both, if it has any draw backs it is a little stiff as it’s a race ski but not the best in tight situations (bumps, trees) but it can still manage them fine. I have used it to teach and it’s very good as it has a reasonable waist to it and can pivot really well. I ski on the 08/09 version but I have also skied the 07/08 model the are very similar my guess is the only change they made was the top sheet. Would recommend this ski to anyone. If you want an on piste ski that can still go everywhere it’s perfect 5 out of 5.

So hopefully I will get weekly tips going on my site helping people to improve there skiing. So if you have any questions just ask I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

Once I get used to how this thing works and I understand everything I will try and get some videos and pics explaining technique.

Come the start of the next season I will be looking to put up some ski/boot/equipment reviews and if your lucky I will explain the diffrences in skis,boots etc…
