i've been looking around for a new ski and i think i've settled on the shoots, but the description says almost flat tail. i haven't seen them in person and probably won't until i buy them so anybody know if they can be ridden switch? i don't wanna get a pair only to find out they can't be. thanks.

Having flexed that ski a few times, I cannot even imagine anyone riding it switch......

It has enough twin to do it, but it is straight and stiff as hell and needs to be mounted further back to take advantage of the sidecut and tip taper. 

I personally think you would be miserable riding it switch. 

BUT that is not what it is meant for in anyway.  Definitely meant to be a kill-babies, big turns, bomb down the mountain ski.

Why would you get a big mountain charger to ski switch?
