Almost an SUV
Definitely has an SUV personality. Take it off groomed, especially in the pow, and watch it do most anything easier than expected at almost any speed. The 190cm length makes this ski a little more versatile than it’s older models, but it still takes some good power to ski. If you venture on the groomed with the Big D’s, be sure that you are going mach 3 or else they won’t come around very easily because of the minimal sidecut.
Stable when getting high speed in the POW
This ski is the best ski I ve ever skied. Its stability in high speeds make you feel good…….and the flotation is awesome. You don’t have to try it…..buy it.
Tempting very Tempting- Bring your balls
I tried the prototypes after coaxing them out of the hands of the reps after many beers in Bozeman. At that point there were only 3 pairs in the states, but they wanted to see how they tested out in the Headwaters terrain at Moonnizzle Bizzle. The conditions were far from pow. I ski the older big daddies mostly and this didn’t feel much bigger. Straightlining out was effortless and they were quick in the pinches. Was impressed that they could lay down an edge and scrub speed when I needed to in a steep tight chute approaching terminal velocity. Will probably buy a pair one of these days
