Weak tails are a recipe for tomahawking because there is no back seat when you get knocked back by ice or rock, and especially a problem with a pack full of alpine gear. I retired a nice pair of carbon fiber 124mm skis to NH meadow skipping for this reason. Many people go for a straight tail and rocker tip. Interesting, the kuros never had this problem.
Examples of problem areas are getting onto the glacier rond, the start of the cosmiques, or the direct entrance to the marbrées. Short sections of firm leading to long pow runs.

I love the renegades in tight forests. They pivot on a dime.

Excellent!
The next question whether to mount them with dynafit rotation 12 bindings (dynafit Hoji free ride boots) or marker dukes (Lange RX 130s). Fumbling with pins during a pow frenzy is not ideal, but dukes + alpine boots make for a big workout on the uphill. The bigger and wider skies work better with real boots... the hojis seem pretty solid on the 1 run I have skied them.
