Overall these skis are an easy to use fun ski for the
beginner/intermediate powder skier, they are not the quickest and on the
188s, I found I was wanting more ski ski (bear in mind I'm only 5'9").
They are responsive and pivoty (on groomers carving is a bit more work than with other powder skis), I think they would be a good tree-skiing
sk (due to pivotyness), if you're looking to charge big lines go with the super7s
Performance
About Me/Summary: - 5'10", 80kgs, decent level powder
skier, currently on 191 ON3P Caylors, wanting to try the S7s as I had
heard so much about them. Tested them up at whistler, good range of
condition bit of pow, bit crud,heavy, ice a good mixture for 'demoing'
I got a chance to demo these today up at whistler. I managed
to ski them in a got variety of conditions, powder,deep concrete,
Crud,Slush,Groomers and Ice. In the powder they were great they were so
responsive and easy to use, of sketchy situations was no trouble for the
S7s and I had total confidence they would do what they wanted on my
feet they felt light and manoeuvrable, however landing cliffs etc they
didn't feel as stable as I would have wanted them to be. After a couple
of powder runs I ran into some deeper snow that was heavy and a
nightmare to ski, with the s7 no problem at all, again very confidence
inspiring. Once I took theses out into the cut up crud these felt shakey
at speed and didn't bust through it as well as I thought they
would/should have and do not what ever you do take these anywhere near
moguls. However in slushy snow they were no trouble at all and were an
easy ride. On groomers there is a little bit of chatter but not a
terrible amount, I didn't really feel like I could rail groomers carving
was an issue on theses where as my ON3P caylors which are wider have a
much better on piste ability.

Durability
Considering these have been up at whistler on demo since mid november they seemed to be holding up well, a little scuffing around the tip and tail, minimal chipping,and only 3 base scratches
