Well a few folks have asked about how the ski felt.  Max501 and I have previously exchanged a couple of messages on this on the PMTS forum.  On the groomed I was acutally pleasantly startled and liked it.  My thought was for such a fat ski it was quite turny (and I expected that due to is short turn radius) and it had a lot of edge hold.  Initially, it was a little too sharp, but that was esily correcgte and that can largely be a matter of personal taste.  In pure powder also liked it.  Nice wide ski, nice and turny.   It was when the powder began to get chopped up - and in today's world that is pretty quick,  or turned heavier - let's cal lthat crud--that my opinion changed.  It was just beating me to death.  If it hit a clump  or a rut it wanted to change direction RIGHT NOW.  I felt as if I was constantly struggling to have it go where I wanted it to.  I was bounced all over.   It flat wore me out.  And no, I wasn't trying to muscle it.  And it was for the deep stuff and crud that I wanted the ski.  A fat ski capable of applying PMTS principles.
