so these are COMPLETELY OK on groomers and park? because i do allot of park and want some twin tips, but i also used to race so i like a good stiff parabolic ski for that. and i <3 pow!!

so please i really want the best ski for pow/groomers/G-S/Park would those be good?

@kotafey some people cant afford 8 pairs of skiis for every condition, and the s7, or other skiis with that style of camber/rocker makes it a great ski for doing anything. its definately not the best at anything, but it can do everything pretty good.

Yes because many people buy these ski's, S7's JJ's, for their versatility. They will work great in trees and powder, but also on the hardpack. Not quite like your carving ski's, but good enough considering many people try to avoid cat track's, because really, what's the fun in it.

I'm the 1 dislike because I'm a douche. And there is no science in your descriptions whatsoever. Have a nice day.

I've always been one for on-piste carving and my skis have traditional camber and a 66mm waist. The s7 has 110mm waist. Are there really people who would go on a ski trip and pack only the s7, not knowing what the conditions will be like?

woah woah hold up! the s7 can be used as a everyday ski?

Great video. I finally understand camber, rocker, reverse sidecut, etc.

Is this your top 4, best-in-class? Other lines I should take a look at for 2010-2011?
