Most of this season's Ski Logik's are good skis, but Mazz isn't sleeping on the job.  He's tweaking the designs and the flex patterns and I feel the skis are much better for next season.  He also has a couple new models that I really liked.

All that said, I ski 50-60 skis each season in my demo routine.  There is a ski I would put above the Ski Logik Rave that is similar, but I feel to be better in many ways.  Check out the Scott Crusade - they're hard to find, but will reward in many ways.  For my use in CO the Crusade is a more stable more poweful feeling ski than the Rave while still behaving in a fairly nimble fashion (179cm has a published 15m radius).

So if you like the Rave then cool, but check out what Scott is doing.  They also have a new ski coming next season called the Venture that I believe will truly impress Western skiers as a great daily driver (96mm underfoot, 16m radius in the 178cm, and with early rise tip).  I felt that the flex pattern of the new Venture is a touch better than the Crusade and it's a lighter feeling ski without giving up too much power.
