I found a pair on the cheap this summer, and have had a chance to get them out a handful of times this year, and love them. Very versatile for the width, balanced, cut through crud, transition predictably through various conditions, stable, and a high speed limit. I was disappointed to see they don't seem to be in production any longer.

Who has skied these, and what other models have you skied that most closely resemble the Punisher? Hoping to be able to find a similar ski when these do finally bite the dust.
