went to a shop the other day and saw the system, they are mad heavy but also one of the best ideas ive seen to date, if they could make the system lighter, then i think i would buy it any day of the week, its really cool, there is this lever you pull towards the front of the plate to switch between park ( foreward mounting) and pow ( bacward mounting) i dont really know exactly how much the change alternates, but i would recommend if ur gunna get the ski, get it without the system.... that is about the extent of how i could help you, with im sorry was not much. Ive actually heard nothing but good reviews about the ski itself you can find a ton o reviews in the ski review section.

i rode the old ones without the system, my friend got the system and after his first 180 the plate broke, i found them even without the plate to be very heavy and cumbersome and very chattery at high speed, i don't think constructionaly they have chagned this year but i could very well be wrong, i feel with the new graphic that in order to use these skis you need to have a mullet and an 80's camaro, they just look so white trashy i hate them

accually they are way stiffer than other twins so they are very stable at high speeds and have more pop too. + they are lighter than the tms but wieght doesnt matter at all if you accually know how to ski

whoever above thought the system was great is a fucking turd. That thing was the most useless piece of shit ever created...I broke the plate as well, way back in the day. The ski itself is the toughest most duralbe fuckin ski i have seen to date. Full on bomb proof. Buy it. New is same as the old, no construction changes, just top sheet

i dont think anyone should pay that much for any ski, you would just be robbing yourself.

3M makes a clear tape-like sheet that is used on car bumpers to prevent scratches, might work on skis too.
