Yea, totally. Good deal. The reason for my concern is from my experience last year with the Mantra. Seems like every ski company out there is looking to do a "quiver of one" in general and especially in the powder board line up. Personally, I like having a few different skis and don't want a ski that compromises even slightly on natural snow and powder. There is always a trade off. People talk about the one ski quiver, but there is always a trade off. I would prefer to see more specialization. Just have seen a lot of comments about how well powder skis can carve lately, and it just isn't what I want a powder ski to do well. Usually, the components that make a ski rail on groomers generally trade off for the qualities that make a ski a blast on the natural stuff. I'll give it a shot myself.... I gotta respect any one that admits other skiers need to try it for themselves rather than shooting from the hip that it is the best ski for someone else.
