 Yeah the 99 foundation is a ski that can do a bit of everything, it's good floatation, the new tip, the new side cut on the tip improves a bit the floatation of piece but it's a bit less chattery on piece so even if you want to go decently fast it holds the speed pretty well, easy off piece, easy on piece, it can do pretty much everything you want to do. So I used the 99 foundation DPS, thought it was a really good ski on piece, the tip shape allows you to easily initiate the turns on there and just use it on piece nicely but it really excels when you take it onto the sides of the piece, the bits of powder and it's easy to handle on there, the tip shape works really well on there, keeping it out of the snow and just going round and down having loads of fun. So I used the ski weather wise, I've used it in poor weather and decent weather, in poor weather it was easy to use to make much shorter turns so that I could stop and see where I'm actually going because there's times when you come and see that fall, when the weather was better you could make much bigger turns on and off piece and the powder sometimes up to your knees and it still handles really well. I pitched the 99 foundation to an intermediate skier or maybe someone who wants to get into a piece skier who's looking to start getting into the sides of the piece or someone who's maybe wanting to get into touring and starting a touring set upon it but it's a really light ski and it handles well.
