These skis require a different style. With light weight boots they put me in the back seat a lot. Feel long. Not snappy turning. I am afraid to ski them in the trees. Ski fresh untracked powder ok but chop or crust aren't pretty. I love them on the uphill. Dynafit bindings- i' having trouble with serious constant ice build up under the heel. I like being able to turn the heel either direction but haven't mastered doing this with my pole. Wish it had a lower rise option for going up hill. Sore calf today. Suggest this set up for long tours or racing but not yoyoing at a bc hut in Canada multiday. Given all that i do like the set up & look forwrd to day trips with it. Linda

Amazingly light. Feels like there is nothing underfoot. It skies different than other skis I've tried. Very sporty and quick to turn. Very playful. I found myself making a lot of shorter quicker turns. Reminds me of driving a go-cart. An amazing ski in certain conditions. More for soft snow - quick winter laps or early spring tours.

I bought the vapor nano on sale at eBay. I haven't skied them yet but the workmanship is poor. Sloppy machining on edges and the rest of the construction. Full tune before I even think of taking them out. They're getting the marker kingpins and I will be touring out my backyard this winter.
