Schoff likened it to “a Swiss Army knife: super versatile, does everything well.” Con Moguls and short turns aren’t its strong suits. A category-leading score in Rebound Energy says a lot about its spunk and versatility, and 70 mm is just wide enough to be generally playful-even reasonably good in powder. But unlike a lot of hard-snow carvers, it doesn’t forget to be fun. That’s nice when you’re going as fast as these are meant to go, and this is first and foremost a race-bred, medium- to long-radius arc specialist. Has anyone tried them, what are your thoughts. It’s quick to the edge, and when it gets there, it’s strong, stable and predictable. I read a lot of reviews about these ski, and Ive heard nothing but amazing news about how powerful they are.

Pro Like the AC4, the Allstar employs Völkl’s stoutest construction: wood core, two sheets of metal, Piston vibration-dampening interface and Double Grip (extra mass over the edges).
