I hadn't really considered this ski until Sierra Jim mentioned it. I was talking to him about the Dynastar 8000 and the K2 Recon.

He said this has a better edge hold than the Recon; but it's also smoother than the 8000. To me, it sounded like a mix of both skis. My concern with the Recon was the edge grip. While I don't need a pure race slalom ski that will hold and edge on a 75 degree sheer ice slope...I would like something that can hold on VT hardpack.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on these in a 176 today.
