I swapped skis for a couple of runs with a guy that I was skiing with at Lake Louise last Sunday, who was on a brand new pair of Stormrider VXL's. Conditions were soft spring snow top to bottom.
Specs: 126/85/111, 21m radius, 179 length
Pros: smooth, supple, even flex; powerful but not aggressive; not overly stiff longitudinally, but very stiff torsionally; stable in crud and on smooth snow at speed; absorbed rough snow transitions easily and without kick-back; outstanding edge hold, even in soft spring snow; very light and agile feel but only if I got way forward over the shovels, quite unwieldy when skied in a neutral stance (see note below re. binding setup)
Cons: this ski did not want to readily release from turns, but tended to lock me into each turn, which is a trait I do not care for -- I like skis to go where I point them, when I want them to. Also, while the edge grip was exceptionally strong, it had an "always on" character which was rather unforgiving. Both of these could have been due to the tune.
The ski was set up with a Knee binding mounted to the BOF/CRS mark, and with a riser plate under the toe piece (shop setup, not manufacturer's) which probably gave it a zero ramp angle. For my preferences, this just did not work. I had to push myself way forward to get the ski to respond. It was otherwise very sluggish and awkward-feeling.
Bottom line, with bindings having a more typical ramp, and the skis tuned to my liking, this ski might be really wonderful and I would love to demo it properly some time. It showed some qualities that I really like, and had a very smooth silky feel and supple flex that was really sweet. On hard snow, it could be a ripper. It should be very good off piste, too. Nice ski, and beautifully made.
