Manufacturers description
MAJOR UPDATE for 13/14: 3 is not the hard way!
A "Fun charging ski" is not an oxymoron anymore. The "3" (the original fun charger) is our big mountain model that loves all types of terrain. A unique combination of serious and fun is achieved by combining a tip and tail rockered profile with a directional, big-mountain shape. Charge that open face then slarve through the trees and bomb the piste back to the lift. This ski does it all with ease.
For 13/14 we updated the rocker profile with our Continuous Elliptical Rocker concept as well as the topsheet material to be more resistant to scratching and incorporated what we call a semi-sidewall-cap which further enhances durability.
Our unique, progressive sidecut shaping with a 29m radius in the tip and an elliptical tail achieves a remarkable combination of stability and easy turn initiation. Short straight sections in the tip and tail and medium-stiff flex make for a very responsive, yet stable ride, providing lift and support without hooking.

Strengths:
direction Stable
Joining playfulness
Discreet design
Attenuated feeling
Weaknesses:
Hard to agree with at first.
Summary:
Have so far only tested the skis in them, not as exciting as Hassela has to offer.
There is not much to say, they work surprisingly well in pistons and the little pillows that were handled them well.
Should write a full-size review when they have a good turn in the Alps, but unfortunately, waiting for a few weeks.
However, the piste qualities surpassed for such a "fat" and solidly built ski.
Fitted with STH 16 steel, so unfortunately I can not bring any experiences about turning, iaf this season.
Model year: 2013
Riding style: Pillows, like speed but are creative on the mountain. No 10+ drip, so far ..

Strengths:
Like a little love child between any bc jibbskida and a couple of pro rider xxl! It simply fixes everything, charging mode when you want to play and play whenever you want! Lively without getting nervous, fleshy without getting tough. A badly successful combo simply!
Weaknesses:
Pispering may be a weakness if you do not like to get on properly then it will be more fun!
Summary:
My only ski this season and probably a good while to come. The most comfortable ski I've ever traveled, and I've never felt so sure so soon on a couple of new skis! It's definitely a charger if you want to, but you should not be afraid that it would be a fleshy ski, if you want to get dressed there will be no protest but it can be nice and playful at the same time!
edit: now i'm back on telisar and this ski is even better with loose heel, pure sex type. Mounted -8 with hammerhead and it's badly messy!

Strengths:
Easy-to-use ski that likes to drive fast. Sick smooth and versatile when it comes to off-piste skiing. The piste fades well..but it's most a means to get to the next offpiste ride. Swallows bumps well but are not locked like Head SuperMojo103, Dyna XXL, RC112 etc. but can be easily slowed to slow down.
Have driven a lot of days on these and am very satisfied. Playful in a freeride manner, therefore, submit jibbplank directly.
Weaknesses:
Perhaps maybe there was a better grip when it's hard. However, it may as well be that the edges are not so sharp (have not cut them).
Summary:
Where my go-to ski this winter, and I've really digged them. It just swings the turn you want (in the offpiste thats) and still has a directional stability that can be compared to bigger and significantly firmer skis.
