They're fun to get out on in a terrain park or to change it up from the usual though...



why?
What are you talking about Willis? I think they are easier to stop on than my other sets of skiis. I think because the Snowblades are stiffer, since they are shorter.

I've used them on double diamond slopes and choppy ice with no problems. ONe thing I like about them is they are very portable. While other people are struggling with their long skiis, I just strap mine together and toss them over my shoulder.

Other thing I like is sitting on a chair lift they do not weigh so much so it's easier on the joints. Heavy skiis tend to make my knees hurt with chair lifts that do not have a place to rest your feet.
