Strengths:
It is a perfect ski ride to go swimming. It is good in pillows, but it is also good to go to the piste. It can be carved and works well in the park. It will get a nice cut in the piste if it's not too bad. An absolutely perfect all round ski.

Weaknesses:
Nancy is so heavy that it may be black to get around the ski when the snow becomes a little heavier. The only downside in the piste is that it flares very much at high speeds, which makes it a bit unstable.

Summary:
The ski is perfect for all-round skiing and as a complement to a clean powder slide. It's definitely the prefect of someone who's just going to live, get some more losno, but still want to stay in the piste. In addition, it is so handsome.

Riding style: Off piste, piste, park
Length on the ski: 169 cm

Strengths:
They are soft and easy-running, a good ski when to start offpist, or just want a ski that works almost anytime.

Weaknesses:
K2 = heavy skis, which is most difficult when i carry the skis to the ski bus or park (I do not use these). Hopeless when it's rocky.

Summary:
My first "real" skis. I thought it would be significantly harder to switch between a couple of 160-something park layers and those, which are somewhere around 183 (did anyone ever understand how manufacturers measure their skis?) But it went really easy. Certainly, for me who are relatively easy and clumsy in the legs it becomes heavy at the beginning, but devils what fun skis. Suddenly I realized what was so fun with powder snow. It was just driving.

Pist: If it's newly typed, it's all right, it's possible to drive really fast with them without getting flushy even though they're really soft. Compared to my short skis, it feels like they pull the pace in a completely different way. They are easy to get rid of. Spring snow, harvested, they work well almost all the time. But not when it's really hard, then they're just crazy. Should probably add that I always shy away when it gets really steep and icy, no matter what skis I have under my feet.

Offpist: Januaripuder, spring mask, windpinat, dense forest, I've had fun almost always. The times it's not fun it depends on my own ability, not the skis.

Have not tested them in park.

In summary: Nancyn is a really good ski. Sure, it's probably a plague if you go aggressively, because it's soft, and as all-round as it is, there will be some compromises. It could have been wider, and moved better into deep cushions, but then it would not work as well in the pist as it does.
It is then the first off-piste skiing to make it clear that wide skis are not difficult, but really badly fun. Good for self-esteem simply.

Strengths:
Very lightweight and soft. Good offpiste beginners skiing. Is also really fun in the park and in the piste it is wonderful as long as it's snowy or spring snow ..

Weaknesses:
Not at all fun on hard surfaces.

Summary:
Got to test my mate 169 skis one day in the offpiste and fell in love once. Even though the skis were so long, there was no obstacle as long as the trees were not too tight;)

Bought own 159 and loves them. If Ganka is small, I think they are fine even at higher speeds, but they do not start to flatter too much. However, can recomend K2 seth if you are a bit longer and heavier. (Seth = slightly harder)

If you're a novice, I'm fine to have in the park. I learned to spin this ski that they worked well! Even in the piste it's so funny, nowadays I'm only switching to ski slopes when it's the right shine on the slopes. Otherwise, Nancy is my loyal companion.

So do you plan to start driving a little more offpiste and maybe a little park this is the optimal first page!

Strengths:
Lightweight, compassionate and soft, good cut, versatile, lightweight (I think), predictable. Fun to drive.

Weaknesses:
Has not found any yet. They are soft so some people feel safe at high speeds and bouncing. If you like skis that plow the fields, maybe it's not the right choice. They go more than through the fields, so it's about staying in the legs. But it's still a flavor. I've been faster on these than I've ever done before without feeling like they're starting to flatter very much. So for me there is no weakness.

Summary:
These are my first fat skis and they make me feel like a hero.

I tried them in Stryn this summer and liked them in sorbetsnön. Be really nervous about the premiere in the pist but these darling went like the train everywhere. You want to go fast on them.

The big difference compared to my previous skis is that they attract play. You suddenly want to try their limits and test things that you have not dared before. They are kind, cruel and stable at one and the same time.

I like the rather short swing radius, they are light-weighted. It is immediately visible on the insert if you are not right or not. Very good, I think. My technique is not world-wide all the time, I'm unable to keep them cut all the time and do not really get it on ice, but it does not matter, it still works, and at the same time, the technology will be alright, it's more of my ability than skiing so to speak. And when I get to it, it's total love.

Sorbet and pissed piste - no problem. Later to try them in pillows and if only I can keep the balance they should be absolutely wonderful. It's still where they are created to be.

Pure skiing pleasure is probably the best summary.

With 3 days in the luggage it is top rated, may return for more tests in more fun snow. :)
