I don't rate the Crusades very highly for new deep snow.  Where they excel is as a crud buster for chopped up snow that has begun to set up.  A better ski of similar dimensions that is fine for fresh powder and still does sufficiently well in cut-up is the Atomic Savage Ti.  It has adaptive camber (kind of like early rise) and better ability to float up on the snow.
