i have last seasons Machete's... and the plate is what helps make them heavy... Ive had mine for 2 seasons and NO complaints from me... It depends on what you wanted them for... they kick ass all over the mountian... they are awesome if ur just learning the park... they are nearly impossible to break... I teach rug rats and they still look new...

I ski machetes and love them. No Offense but I wouldn't recomend them to anyone but expert or heavy skiers because there are a lot of ski to push you around. If your semi-new to the sport I don't think thier the correct ski for you.

Oh my GOD!
Volant Sucks!
they always bend...
when fiberglass bends it flexes (and bends back) when stainless steel bends too far it doesn't bend back.
