This is a great recreation ski. We race often but to have a ski that fits such a wide variety of people its awsome. For a no-wax it has sufficient glide, can kick up any hill and the shorter ski make it handy to navigate through woods and rough conditions. The ski fits both my husband and I well even though there is a 30lbs. difference he can go just as fast with no drag in the kick zone.

+++very good skies for beginners!!! we tested them in different conditions and are very happy with them!
