Well, I now have a somewhat strange quiver. K2 Strykers, 180 and 74 underfoot, Volkyl AC40 Carbons 170, 84 underfoot. I'm still waiting to bring them both somewhere and test them against each other. The Volkyl's are kind of short for me but really hold onto ice. Stiff in the bumps though but the shortness helps a little. The strykers might actualy be a better ski in all conditions as they are very damp and forgiving. The Volkyl's need to be managed, the Strykers could care less. Next up...powder skis.
