they are surprisingly quick, i rode them the other night and they actually held an edge quite nice, not the fastest skis i've been on but definatly fun

skogens are dope in the park but outside the park they rip on pretty much every thing except in pow they sink a bit but over all a wicked ski

I would say that would depend on what you like and how much you weigh. I had the skogens all last year, and they suck at high speeds, i am talking tip flappage. If you are heaver (>170) go for something a bit beefier in terms of holding an edge. just my $0.02

anyone interested in some rossi soft boots size 27.5? worn for 1 hour tops inside :)

scogens could do it for ya my 03's are sick they take me all over the mountain and the do not chatter at high speeds. old scogens do however(the ones with trains on them). unfortunatly since the edges are so dull from rideing rails i cant hold an edge worth shit on hard pack but no edges help when doing rail spins

They are super quick edge to edge, great for moguls, and they grip ice really well for a twin too. I've ridden mine in two feet of powder, and they did fine as long as I kept my weight back (they were mounted close to center.) I'd recommend them if you like making quick turns, and a lively ski.

I was looking into the skis, and i'm not sure about the newer models, but i came acrossed TONS of people who claimed to have broken their skogens at least once.. Like I said, i havent riden them or seen anything abuot the newer models, but all of those bad reviews steered me away from the Skogens. Look into it before you buy them!
