Been skiing my whole life, in Tahoe mostly, a couple weeks at Alta. Like going fast, big turns, jumping off rocks, small cliffs (30 feet maybe, hopefully bigger soon) etc. Chutes, steeps, spines, anything.
Skies I have skied: 178 Scratch BC (my main ski), 181 Apache Chief, 179 pontoons.
I havn't gotten out to much on these this season yet, because the snow has not been to great in. My first day with about 8 inches at northstar I was blown away, I have never been on a rockered ski and they were just so much fun. I just loved the feeling of landing in pow. Could do short turns if I wanted, and if I was going really fast I could easily kind of slash and cut speed. I then skied them at Squaw on a powder day to give them a little bit more to work with. Had an amazing run down the fingers (I think, right under kt.) These skies were amazing, so stable, fast, in control. Felt really good coming off smallish cliffs etc. I was very confident and felt amazing.
I then took them out in some untouched pow snowcat skiing in BC ([ame="http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153250"]TR: Island Lake Lodge - Teton Gravity Research Forums[/ame]) Again, they were amazing, maneuverable in the tree's, in control, and I just loved going fast and taking pretty big turns. I tried the pontoons for a couple runs, thinking they would feel totally different and probably better in the untouched because of the reverse camber. The pontoons felt a little bouncy to me, and my wrenegades floated just as well, and felt kind of more.....powerful, haha. like you could rip on them more.
These skis are awesome, only complaint is a little bit of topsheet chipping, probably because I did not prep these well enough....and if your in it for how you look, your in it for the wrong reason. Stable, could power through chopped up snow, could cut speed if wanted. Playful, like I could lean back a little bit and pop up over a little stump or bush or something. They just rip. Great for something like Alta, they'd be amazing under the tram at snowbird, squaw, anywhere with some pretty soft snow. They are also held an edge on the groomers, and were allright on the very little moguls I did at the end of the day at squaw getting to other runs.
Very well built skis, know race over to gearswap and get the pair of great scotts iggy is selling.....you will not be disappointed.

Any questions do not hesitate to ask.
Update. I forgot to do this so I am updating now.
I had a couple more really good days at squaw on these bad boys. One it had snowed up top at Granite chief, but rained at the bottom. So it was very wet sierra cement. I used to not really have any fun on this type of snow because I couldn't really turn and got tired pretty fast. It was a blast on these. Loved jumping off small cliffs, slashing turns, going down little chutes and popping off natural features (there was this one really fun tree tap). It was one of the most fun days of the year.
Also had them out on a couple spring type days. I started with my scratch BC's and I did not feel so confident on them. Went down headwall and when I pointed down the hill I was not very stable or anything. Then I went to my car and grabbed my wrenegades and man was I stupid for not starting with them. So stable, nice GS turns down choppy stuff which I could not do on my scratch's. Definitely my ski of choice for any off piste spring skiing. So yeah, go buy them, you will be kicking yourself in the head if you miss this presale price. Don't think about it, just do it.
