Big demo at Bolton Valley MLK weekend, Nordica will be there.

My .02...
I demoed the volkl ac4 yesterday and skied my Dynastar 8000's today. I'll be saving to get the volkl's. The AC4 is totally different than the 724 pro, what a ski. I was taking the advice of a good friend in trying this ski but now I have a pair of nearly new 184 8000's for sale..BTW this is an everyday regardless of conditions ski, I have a big pair for the big days.

fernieskier, welcome to alpine zone forums. your post would probably be more helpful if you specified your specs such as age, weight, height, type of skier, and what/where you normally ski. these variables are always helpful when offering experiences or advice on skis.

....have now put some miles on them....absolutely love these boards. Will be my "go to" New England "big mountain" skis, with a focus on pow, crud, off-piste, trees. Work the bumps at MRG quite nicely, too.
