I have just skied my first week on a set of these in 174 which is 8cm longer than my previous set of Scott Neo. I have to say they are a superb ski for 70/30 piste skiing. Extremely grippy, effortless turning, good carving at speed as well as incredibly stable. I felt as if I had gone from a rear wheel drive sports car to a 4x4.
They were good off piste as well with a reasonable footprint underfoot to help floatation in powder.

Hope this is useful for anyone considering all mountain skis. I would highly recommend them.

Used to have a pair of these and have to agree loved them. Great all round ski that will let you carve onpiste, hit some moguls and experiment at the side of the piste. For some reason I swapped for some Dynastar 4 x4 which were similar but had the major drawback of having a very stiff tip which often led to face plants in powder.

I have skied on these for the last three years and agree with all comments above. They are fantastic and very forgiving.
Mine are the 174 Ti's and ski shorter than the length suggests.
Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

I forgot to mention the first morning incident. Definitely caused by the new skis.....going pretty fast down a red, decided to take the hairpin tighter than perhaps I would normally, but was enjoying the new skis going fast. They turned quicker than I expected forcing me to do a 360 spin and all of a sudden they pinged me on my tails and up into the air before throwing me flat on my back.
I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes!!
