Upside: I would have called this the ultimate Aus resort ski, until I skied the 82 Ti; Jim. Lively and versatile, torsional strength makes it easy to power anywhere; Fabian.
Downside: Maybe not substantial (or long enough at 176) enough for heavier skiers; Chris.
Verdict: Excellent choice for the category.
