Strengths:
I demo'd it at Thredbo (Australia) last weekend - in a word: outstanding, on and off the piste, in virtually all conditions from bumps to the race-track, across ice and slab, through fresh untracked and man-made snow.
It carved easily and accurately and created a lot of speed, very quickly. They gave a feeling of total control using with moderate forward pressure and edge. They glided around underneath me in tight short radius turns. On the home trail, they ironed out the ruts and hammered straight through snow banks and rough stuff.
Weaknesses:
Slightly stiff on a tight packed, icy mogul run (not a place you want to be, but Thredbo has everything) but even then, they made it feel easy and helped you get into the right stance to manage the difficult terain and feel in control.
Summary:
Best ski I've tried in 10 years. Puts the skier in total control and is very responsive to a range of conditions. I'd buy a pair tomorrow, and probably will.
Model year: 2008
Riding style: Piste-powder

Strengths:
A truly superb all-round ski that, unlike many similar ones, has rel. Short turning radius, which I like. Excellent grip on hard surfaces. good off-piste. short and good
Weaknesses:
Like all all-round skiing, it's not "Best" on anything. Not enough fat for proper cushions. A little bit unstable at really high levels. All of this, however, is obvious.
Summary:
Absolutely the best allround ski that I went !!!.
I am 50 years old with approx. 20-30 ski days per year for the last 35 years
Riding style: All-mountain. like humpback, off-piste, forest skiing. is too old for park and hope (also can not be for that matter)
Length on the ski: 177 cm
Riders weight: 86 kg
Riders length: 182 cm
