Overall
Basically this ski made for some of the best days ever on snow. These skis are unreal in the powder and can handle their own everywhere. trees, groomers, park, rails, these fucking kill it. The ski is quite soft so be prepared to be skiing really on your toes the whole time for all you lazy park rats.
I rounded the edges on the rockered tips and tails to make butters a little easier. definately suggest this as the edges are kind of useless for anything else.
Mount where the line is on the ski (think is says middle of foot). This is where the skis is meant to be mounted from Pollard himself. Make sure your shop doesn't fuck it up these skis are fat.
Ride before you buy if you can but if not, just get em and enjoy them for as long as you can they are the sickest ski ever.
Performance
I absolutely love the ski. coming from Ontario, I havent skied much powder but knew that it is tiring as shit on park skis. These skis make powder almost effortless. They literally float on snow, a feeling I can only relate to skimboarding as you kind of lose control but then gain it back as you butter off speed easily.
CRUD: In the gnarly, death cookie type shitty skiing these skis really did not perform. But why would you ski crud when you can ski park so just take that shit when it hits you.
PARK: In the park they fucking rock. On rails they feel like a snowboard would probably feel they just lock on. You have so much ski on the rail it feels like you just grip on the rail. Presses are mad easy but go too far and your done because of the softness. Jumps they are a little scary as I like a more poppy ski and these are most mellow, flex mongrels. they buck you back seat the first few times but then you find the sweet spot.
TREES: Mad fun in trees. turn on a dime and real easy to butter off speed. once they get tight then your kind of in the shits cause the ski is real fat.
STEEPS: skiing off the peak of whistler and blackcomb these things are bomb. people gawk at you like your on some crazy experiment gone wrong and the "i only ski the peak, love ice, and wear northface" kind of crew think your a stupid park kid lost with his rental skis. Take the stares and bomb past them as they get stuck in knee deep powder. these things can butter off speed so easily, so large amounts of speed are easily lostin the matter of a turn. Off cliffs you just need to remember they are soft so be real forward and your all good.
Design
Aesthetically the ski is pretty dope the graphic looks cool, west coast, I dig it.
Fit
the length, at 185, seems really short because of the early rise. and really light surprisingly.
Characteristics
SOFT!!! This ski is really soft. It has two flex points that are pretty far up from the front binding (as you can see in the pictures) and then the tip and tail kind of round out the flex. The nose and tail early rise is really unnoticable in most conditions except at speed on ice. The tips and tails begin to bounce and feel like they are steering you off track but they dont do much. Underfoot is pretty stiff so skiing on the groomers is sick you can just rip.
Durability
These skis took everyhthing I through at it and they are still holding tough. Halfway through the year the binding started to rise out of the ski but I just screwed it back in and it was all good. rode a few rails on them and the edges aren't even phased.
