Moment was running a deal on some stiff Comi's for $350 so I jumped all over it figuring it would be a solid post-pow ski given the 160-136-145 dimensions and stiff flex. Turns out, this ski rails in almost everything you throw at it.
Had these out in 2.5 days at Vail in boot- to knee-deep powder that was light and not so light. They're mounted with 916s 1.5cm behind the line (or 8.5cm from chord center). I put this back a bit since I eat too much food (I'm 5/10, 215lbs on a good day) and the 3cm of camber had me concerned.
First impressions? Wow. In powder, these were a blast with no speed limit at all. Super quick in tight spots and trees and they're pretty easy to maneuver in a split second. No tip dive at all and you can really drive the tips when you want to. Once things get tracked out, the Comi can haul ass through the crud with ease. No problems on hardpack, moguls, or firm conditions, although there was some discomfort on long, flat traverses (probably their only downside so far).
So far, I'm super stoked on these. They're pretty much the powder ski I've been looking for: something wide but fairly stiff to handle the days after a storm.
Not sure if Vimeo embedding works here, but here's a clip from yesterday:
