Describe Yourself:
Advanced Skier
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I got these after having some Dorados which were very stiff and skinny, they break through pow very nicely, turn like a blind weasel and are just so much fun. The perfect backcountry ski for the northern mountains of Vermont. I have some G3 Targas on them which are a beautiful match as well as some Ascension skins. Total backcountry transportaion.

I wanted a pair of these the first moment I saw another skier using them. I replaced my old Fischer BCX Boundless Crowns with these, and I do not regret it.
