It's tough to get a ski that's good for everything, and even tougher when you can't demo everything. I don't like buying skis based on a 20 minute conversation with a ski shop employee, but this time it worked out.

The only other shaped skis I demo'd recently were the Rossignol B1 and B2's. The Volkl blew them away.
Welcome to the forum, Patentcad. I'm glad to see that you wrote a gear review and hope that it will help other posters. Thanks and see you on the boards!
