On a 175 Laser AX (6' 180 lbs.) and am very happy with the results. Amazing edge hold on hard snow and ice. Best ever edge hold in my book. I did go to a 1 and 3 degree bevel after starting with 1 and 2. Much better for me with 3 on the side. Very easy skiing at any speed. Love the turn radius. Allows for quick turns when I need them, but don't get nervous when you let them run. 20 days on them so far in Vermont in all conditions. I am skiing better and more confidently on them vs. old skis (Blizzard Brahma) which I never really liked. Much more fluid, way easier to get on the edge early, allow me to be better balanced and feel the edge through the whole turn. Blizzi's were too one dimensional for me, i.e. ski their way or else. Can't see having a wider ski in this part of the world for everyday skiing. So much easier to get these on edge, and can get better (higher) edge angles than with a wider ski. Have a pair of Kastle TX98's (178) for touring, soft snow and woods.
