Yes,  I would like to hear more specifics as well. If you read Dawgcathings review of the Chariot with RL (a rockered version of the ski new for this year) he says the ski is way too stiff and because of this it was really not fun to ski in any sort of chop or cut up snow. Is it possible that this may have been the issue or contributed to your issues?

I can say from flexing them in my garage that the ski is quite a bit less stiff than my Icelantic Shamans and also less stiff than my K2 Hardsides. Of course flex in the garage doesn't tell you how they will ski, but based upon flexing them they sure don't seem too stiff. I also bought the 188's and it could be that they are more stiff than the shorter 178's but that is just a guess. Did you own the 178's?

I will have them on snow in about two weeks so I will defeinitely post a review. Weather permitting I hope to have a review of the skis in pow as well, hopefully fairly soon.
