Strengths:
Go anywhere ski, silky smooth ride. Highly maneuverable for such a fat ski.
Weaknesses:
Easy to catch an edge on cornflowery green runs (but why would you be there?). Require a firm hand on ice.
Summary:
Skied them in just about every possible snow type now from corrugated Ice to knee deep powder and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by their versatility. I thought I'd have to bite the bullet and buy a narrower as well ski for the piste but so far I can't see the need. The Preachers carve superbly on piste and are even flickable in the bumps (but don't ever sit back). At low speeds on flatter slopes they feel slightly nervy unless you edge them, but as soon as you pick up speed WOW.
Impeccable in powder snow and they aren't easily deflected even in hacked up crud, though speed helps.
On ice you need to be well forward and have good angulation to hold the edge (but my girlfriend still overtakes me on her Kenja's).

Strengths:
You lightly pile up and the short radius makes it playful and lightweight. Pist in junkyard and some ice-cream stains, just blowing it straight through as a trap.
Offpist, turns on a femöring and wants to get up in the snow, the width gives good bearing on the snow. I drove 179 cm which is enough to have a playful ski.
Weaknesses:
Slightly bumpy in the piste, because it's going to edge, it can be a bit perceived to track. Hard to sneak on.
Summary:
Fits good skiers who like to be on the slopes with a good response in the ski, but you have a cruel skiing outside. It's quite tough, so it's not like sliding turns or lightweight.

Strengths:
A fantastic ski in the piste (!). Yes, even though it really delivered on crowds and in the pillows offpiste, you could actually have fun in ice skies and in the slushy on the way home. Offpist did not feel like there were any limits at all. Very rigid and stable in all modes.
Weaknesses:
I had to struggle quite hard in tight sections in the forest with these. A little over 180 cm and drive on the 189 skid. It should be added that the forest is not my home. Bowls for me.
Summary:
It's never really good when you compromise between pistons and pillows, but in this case I was amazed. After a week in a snowy Chamonix I tested the ski quite a bit in and around the slopes and was really pleased. Then the snow came and the ski went from great to amazing and I bought the demo slides right away.
Have been skiing on a total of 15 days.
Is a skater who likes speed on all surfaces and travels about 1 month a year for the past 15 years. Hemmabas Chamonix.
