-
- Well, my *opinion* is that they're my favorite ski. I love 'em to death.
- However that's largely due to how I'm presently skiing most of the time.
- I won't pretend that it's the ski for everybody...it's not!
-
- My impression of the Extreme performance:
-
- Crud: Good performance, not as good as a GS ski.
- Powder: Pretty darn good performance, not tops.
- Ice: Acceptable performance. Edge hold is good, but not great.
- Packed: Great performance, very lively, very quick edge to edge.
- Moguls: Great performance. Very quick.
- Steeps: Great performance. Can snap 'em through the fall line real quick.
- Speed: Acceptable unless you want to really cruise. Twitchy at high speed.

- The Comp SLs:

- "Where's a rock? Ah...that way!"
