While 107mm is wide enough to float well in powder, it is surprisingly nimble on groomers. You will notice a slightly slower edge-to-edge transition compared to a dedicated carving ski, but it remains stable and predictable on firm snow.

The 190cm length is significant and best suited for advanced or expert riders who prefer stability at speed and have the technique to maneuver a longer ski. If you are an intermediate skier, you may find this length demanding in tight trees or technical terrain.

Because these are versatile all-mountain skis, a reliable alpine binding with a mid-to-high DIN range is ideal. If you plan on doing some side-country exploration, a hybrid touring binding is also a great option to take advantage of the ski's playful nature.

The ski is designed with a softer, more forgiving flex pattern that makes it easy to pivot, butter, and slash through variable snow. It feels less locked-in than a stiff, race-oriented ski, allowing for a more creative and surfy riding style across the whole mountain.

Yes, their width and maneuverability make them a capable choice for soft-snow touring. However, keep in mind that they are built with a focus on downhill performance, so they will be heavier than dedicated ultralight backcountry skis.
