Gary - I agree. Head seem to be much more susceptible to scratching and gouging than Fischer or Dynastar. And Fischer edges seem to hold their sharpness longer, as well. I have been nothing but impressed with their build quality.
And great news that Jason is loving my former P-9s. For the right mountain, a ripping-fun ski. Super light and agile at low speeds, but the faster you go the calmer and quieter they become. Amazing. I'm happy that they are in the right hands.
