Strengths:
Rigid, stable, predictable, good-looking.
Weaknesses:
I rented it for two days on hard surfaces in Åre, but it was far too demanding for my taste and riding style. This is not the ski for an average skier who doesn't push on every ride.
Summary:
I find it difficult to write a fair review as I am clearly not the target audience. Certainly a good ski for many skiers who want to stand on it, but not for me. Avoid if you don't go that fast or want a forgiving ski to learn carva on.
