Both skis are cut out.

We're supposed to get a foot of fresh this week! I can't wait to try these out.

The ski's are done!
I have had them out for a day. Our last storm was a complete bust so I took them up to the ski area here in town to see how they would do on bulletproof ice.
For the most part they rocked! I have to charge a bit to get them to carve but they really held their own on icy bumps and tracked out trees. Took a 10 foot cliff and they landed really nice; the contact area is so big they just soaked up all the shock.
They really only got scary when taking really icy run-outs. They also make quite a lot of noise with the tips chattering all about...
I really can't wait for an actual storm!

Many props to the forum! This would have never turned out without everyone's open sharing of information. Got to love the collective conscience!
