I was in LaThuile in the Italian Alps, near the Mont Blanc; we have been very lucky with snow and we had the possibility to test the skis both on prepared slopes and, in their natural enviroment, deep powder.
The skis have been tested by me and by many other skiers, among whom the entire ski patrol service of the resort and some pro-riders that are actually collaborating with some of the main ski producers on the market.
I'm really happy because the feedbacks have been relly positive and for me it has been a big satisfaction considering that these have been the first two pairs produced.
Mk 1.0 the fat one.
the ski turned aut to be really easy to use in deep snow, easy to turn in the trees but the perfect environment are the open spaces, infact it came out that the ski is incredibly fast (some noted it is faster than Volkl Kuro).
On the prepared slopes the ski is difficult to manage because of the reverse camber and you always have to stay on the edges to keep control but this is not the terrain for wich the ski has been thought.
Mk 1.1 the slim one.
the ski works weel both in powder and in hard snow.
It turned out to be quite stiff but the rocker helps to reduce the effort needed to manage it.
Tips are always out of the snow and they works really well in "moved" snow because beein stiff with rocker helps in breaking the snow surface.
Similar to the Vokl Gotama 2010 it is a pair of skis that can be used every day in every condition.
All the feed backs I received are going to be really usefull because they will help me to improve the next skis we will produce.
@davide: the PTTTeam is trying to sort out transport costs in order to bring the Mk 1.0 to Japan so you will be able to have a try with it. Hope you will like it
