Summary:
I tested these skis down in Italy. Mostly because it is a dream ski and I got the opportunity. All I can say is WOW. I as an old racer and still only 20 years old could only be amazed by the pressure I got in the hard and icy slopes. Would say it's a more friendly and easy to turn GS ski.

But when I took it out in the off-piste, it performed well even though you felt that something wider would have been nicer (of course). But as an all-mountain ski with 80-90% piste skiing, it is the best I have skied. Then they should probably be too since they cost almost 18k (with bindings).
