They are a good powder ski and handle groomers well if kept in tune. I skied them in Japan in bottomless powder and they float better than any 112 waisted ski should. They perform like several of my wider 120 waisted skis. They are on the light side, so they do get knocked around a bit in crud snow, more so than the heavier RPC which have less side cut, but they are still manageable if you ski them at reasonable speeds. They’re not chargers, but are still a lot of fun and should be great with alpine bindings.
