Strengths:
super fast, stable awesome in powder as well. The king of G curves. This is a great classic feeling ski for me it s a +.

Weaknesses:
not the easiest ski, not designed for new generation of lazy skiers who want the ski to turn on a dime. This is a great classic feeling ski but for some it might be a weakness.

Summary:
Tried it in Tignes, a shop on the way up at it as Demo, I was attracted by the fact that this is new US brand, that its got a nice strong finish and a cool California surfer look. So I chose to give it a chance.

this is the anti rocker. If you re looking for a ski who is going to be super easy to turn but unstable then this is not your ski.
This classic lookin' all mountain is ready to go fast!. It has great edge grip, great stability. Of course it is engaging from tip to tail and you have to commit yourself to have it turn. The ski is pretty stiff but has a cool damper feel to it.

When I went in powder, the ski's power made it amazing and suddenly it became a super easy ski.

It is solid. I would recommend it to all those who want a great ski not looking for marketing bs models.
