I bought the sultan 85 in November and finally skied the weekend at sunshine ,the snow was slow due to the cold weather and the jury is still in on this ski ride. I will say that if you turn them down the hill  there rockets. Skied goats eye in the morning the snow was hard pack from the wind the ski made nice turns at speed but not so good at slow speed ,did not chatter a lot considering the conditions,when i dropped down into the trees there was about 2 inches of soft snow,there i could start to link some turns together,  short radius turns not good, long radius really good .ski was stable and just ripped. There was a few areas along the trees with about 4 in of crud  no problems there just blasted trough that then on to flats to the lift the ski glides on the snow really nice and picks up speed easily . like i say one day is not enough to  Judge the sultan yet . I am also comparing the ride to the legend 8800 and the monster 88
