Like putting on a pair of old shoes! Felt smooth and easy right off the bat! Lively and playful but torsionally stiff enough to stomp on and trust it!

Fast and fun down the fall line! Sometimes with style 🤪
Size Tested:
176 & 168 CM
Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?
Both were great! I actually loved the 168!!
