THIS IS FOR ANYONE THAT HAS ACTUALLY RIDDEN THE POLLARD PROS: I am seriously thinking of getting a pair, but i'm after some info about how the ski rides.

Obviously its going to be sick in powder, but what about groomers, trees, park, pipe, crud etc....

These boards are gods of the steep and deep- I've hauled them through trees, deep pow, crud, and the like. They've got mad fatty tails for great high-speed flotation in the pow. The best thing is, they're as good in the park and pipe as they are in the pow- they ride switch like Jesus in reverse, they're mad wide for a good landing platform, and for their size their incredibly light. I am very, very happy I bought these skis.
