Is the head flowride technology on the Peak 84 the same what these used on the Peak Flowride 88 of last season?  If so, it's not exactly a traditional camber ski.  Is the Peak 84 just a narrower version of last year's flow ride 88-sure sounds like it: Flowride tip, sandwich laminate construction with metal layers.

Jbotti-if you are looking for carving performance from the Flipcores---I think they'll let you down..at least if the are being compared with im or Kastle 78's (or something narrower) especially on hard snow.  However, the Bonafides I demoed responded wonderfully to tipping movements at turn initiation, they arced in softer snow as well as they drifted and smeared and they don't get kicked around like so many other early ride designs (except, for the Experience 98-which carve medium/ longer radius turns as well as any ski 85 mm waisted or bigger).  I think even the 'CARVE NOT SLARVE' crowd might appreciate these in deeper snow and crud...especially when those conditions are encountered in fairly tight spaces.
