I’d venture to say the folks posting in here were not the intended audience of the video...

Isn't carving just skiing anyways? Even in pow.

95%+ of the skiing public doesn't carve, even if you put them on carving skis.

So the Line Sakana is a slushy snow, quarter pipe specific ski, ... for use on sunny Wednesday's in the spring.

Interesting demographic to focus a ski on.

My next skis will be 80 to 90 mm at the waist. I have fatties for pow and lift skiing. Now I am wanting to get a ski for Spring/ Summer... ice/ corn. Fatties weigh more, take up more space when I put them on my back, and require heavy boots to really edge them... hence even more weight on my back.

Most fatties also have twin tips that are useless for a belay or a back rest. They also make it much harder to transition on on a steep slope since you can't jam the tails into the slope to stabilize them. Since I have never had any ambition to land jumps "switch"... thin is in!

They should have hired the Blister Crew for the video!

I'd bet money that the Head Venturi 95 is a better ski.

Did you know skis are objectively good or bad. Jeese. As if people can have varying opinions.

Take out quarterpipe, and you pretty much exactly descrribed the kind of skiing my mother and father do. Ski in tahoe during the winter, and then move up to Bend and ski groomers at bachelor during the spring... but never on weekends.

Seems like a really fun 3rd ski in the quiver (pow ski, all mtn ski, slushy spring groomer ski). Most folks stop skiing fast and stop skiing bumpy snow by middle age.
