Riding style: Powder / ski touring
Length on the ski: 191 cm
Riders weight: 68 kg
Riders length: 182 cm
Strengths:
Strong versatile easy swing weight holds an edge on everything awesome and powder can carve like aGS race ski
Weaknesses:
The price I am concerned about the sidewalls the top sheet that has a tendency to collect snow in a rather unusual way even though they say it's worthy of shedding snow I disagree. Overall their durability is pretty good but the top sheets do have a tendency to get really chipped up.
Summary:
If I could afford it I would buy more of these I really like mine they were the 2017 model I've got a pair of touring bindings on them. They are my go to Japan ski as well as powder days in the Northern Rockies
Model year: 2017
Riding style: I'm at all Mountain powder skier but 10 to gravitate towards steeper train fairly unconventional wide stance

Strengths:
Light, stable and floaty ski which wants to charge!
Weaknesses:
Not so durable over time and not the best ski for tight corners (191 tested), also it is not cheap ;)
Summary:
Great backcountry ski which can also carve through chop and less ideal conditions, paired with a strong AT binding at can be a great but expensive charging tool both for almost any backcountry oriented ski trip. The bottom layer was a little less durable than expected but is probably due to the decreased weight.

requires active skiing and nothing for short snob turns under the lift

The best fat skis I went on and also good looking!
The only downside would be the price ...

Weaknesses:
That I did not buy them earlier. (if you want to go to the Gondola in Kläppen, you have to take Katanorna into the cabin, as they are too wide for skiing)
