Hey Svend...hits it all on the nail....I just might ad...the ski in the 160 length rocks at short turns too. Thank you for posting that.

THe ONLY thing I had trouble with while Ron laughed his butt off hysterically, we did a bump run under a chair in the morning at Steamboat on firm snow and we had a blast on it. Then the sun warmed up to 50 degrees and the run still looked inviting. Well as soon as I droped in...it was 12 inches of humus......could not turn the P8s...they sank...shovel, tail, edge...with me falling 3 times before getting to the bottom...where Ron was waiting happily with his Pilgrims. Even the people on the lifts were offering advice like "get some twin tips", and "should we call for saftey patrol"....it was crazy but laughable!

So skiing quicksand with the P8's is not advisable...but for all other uses including powder up to ankle high.....the P'8's are a great ride....best to date for me~!
