I demoed them last year. Awesome ski. And expensive. But the switch was noticable and these would make a great EC ski. Typical Volkl bombproof edge hold with the ski stiff and on the soft setting it does nicely in crud and is a bit more forgiving.
Those springs are part of the binding, which I believe is made by Marker. I think binding companies know a thing or two by now about making springs that last.
Here's a good deal if anyone is looking for the 12ft. powerswitch.

Wa-loaf, which one did you demo?
No, these are built into the ski and not part of the binding system. They run the whole length of the ski. I think the rods are made of titanium so they're not likely to break, don't know about the springs though. They also have the Marker Piston bindings, but that's a separate system.
