Translation: they carve easily and are incredible learning tools as they effortlessly force you to ski correctly.These skis were made for the rental market, but let me say they are awesome. With wood core torsional box, snakeskin topsheet (an awesome texture that resists scratching and wear), and heavy duty thick edges, they were designed to last for years and look good doing it. Head labels the features and target groups as such: + Ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers + Strong sidecut for quick turn initiation + Large central width for more stability + Soft flex combined with short length for wide skiing style This ski has a turn radius 20% less than a comparable sized 'normal' shaped ski.

Perfect for those of you trying to perfect (or learn) your parallel turns. They have a huge surface area. Translation: they love to hit crud or powder.
