Saturday was the great day and to say it briefly they worked fantastic!

The condition were quite variable with 10-20cm cold Powder getting more dense with the sun warming it. Handling of the skis is extremely easy. They feel much shorter than they are and turn very well. In spite of the realy soft flex they run very stable at higher speeds and remain stable when crossing grooves from other skiers. Floatation is exceptional preventing rock contact very well :-)

The biggest sensation of the reverse sidecut is the sliding making you really surf! I got pretty addicted to that...

Talking about using them on the slopes: Ok not really funny but managable. It's a bit like skiing your old "toothpicks" from 20 years ago. Don't even think of trying to carve them - the ski will turn into the wrong direction!

Fascinating how people react when they see the ski's: amazement up to somebody who wanted to buy them instantly!

Dude, that powder looks really nice and those mountains look huge! Not to mention that the skis look totally awesome. It's good to hear another person agreeing about reverse sidecut in the soft snow. It is a whole world of difference.
