Strengths:
Wide piste ski that is stable on all types of surfaces on the piste. I've tried it in rain-heavy snow, 1 dm of freshly fallen snow and freshly skied corduroy. Good edge grip if it gets a little hard. Not a beginner's ski, but surprisingly forgiving and provides good security to intermediate skiers regardless of speed, surface or slope. Swallows all irregularities surprisingly well.
Weaknesses:
Quite heavy and not particularly nimble from edge to edge. Not built for short turns.
The yellow color is really neon yellow, whether you like it or not, but the skis are visible from afar if you leave them in the ski rack outside the restaurant on the slope.
Summary:
Good ski if you are looking for stability and security on different surfaces. Helpful if you want to progress from parallel turns to carving. It seems that Salomon has optimized certain features and accepted that you can't have everything at once. If you are looking for exactly these characteristics, it is a safe purchase.
