I got to ski a prototype a couple of weeks ago. It was a 171 when I usually ride 181 so I was expecting it to be just a little test to see how they felt. But they skied amazingly. I lapped whistler park for a few hours and they were great. They are symmetrical so they ride switch so well. I can honestly say I have never been on a better switch ski. The flex is soft and forgiving in the tip and tail. They have some stiffness underfoot which helps them hold an edge fairly well. I would compare them to a slightly stiffer Thall. The rocker was very nice, did not make the ski unstable but just gave a nice buttery feel to the tip and tail.
Even though they were a text pair I took them on some boxes and even with new sharp edges they felt very much at home sliding. Very easy to pop the ski and it felt stable on rails and boxes. On jumps they felt good, I would have preferred a longer size so I wont comment too much on teh jump performance, as the size and the soft flex meant I could not push them too hard.
Overall though its a really fun ski. Where the punx are awesome comp skis these will suit the majority of this site who prefer a jib ski. The price will also be a very big factor for most.
Overall great ski, I will be getting the 181 as my park ski for next season.
