Hold over I guess. Not sure if this means the ski crashed and burned on the market, or if there were just a surplus.

I remember some discussion about this ski a few seasons ago. Might work well on the east coast.

I think it was a fail on the market.

might be worth it for a $1oo.. does anybody have any experience with em

I am reading mixed reviews at best; the mounting of the bindings is odd in that it is centered and it is apparently intended for "terminal intermediates" I guess.

Isn't that like Dynastar's Cham series?

I hated them when I tried them.

Every time I see someone skiing them I stop and ask what they think. Every person has raved about how great they are in all conditions.
On the other hand, last year I talked to guy at Cannon who was skiing them. He went on and on about how amazing they, how they are a one ski quiver, and how it's the only ski he'll ever use from now on. The next day I saw him on different skis.....

Oh, and that link shows them for $250 not $100. Kind of a big difference.

I think their sweet spot is 4-6 inches of fresh snow. Absolutely ridiculous tip flap on groomers.

That's right. I recall you demoing them a few seasons back and reporting on them here.

The $99.99 was a one day promo.....
