Alexi Most's review
Go-to ski for instructing. This ski is difficult to ski well, but when you're on top of it, it skis really well. It gives immediate feedback if I am too far inside or in the backseat. This makes it great to dial in on technique and demonstrate very precise technical movements to clients.
