I skied this on piste primarily on blue square terrain at Stowe on Perry Merrill. The snow conditions were groomed frozen granular with a small layer of fresh snow on top.

This ski felt just right. It's true to size.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

This ski is a piste ski that can also handle the whole mountain short of an over-head powder day.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I would recommend this ski for on piste performance, but also it can handle bumps and crud and even some fresh snow.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This ski is appropriate for an intermediate to advanced all mountain skier. The best suited for this ski will want to carve some turns but also have the option to duck into he woods and ski off the piste slopes.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I LOVED THIS SKI. I wasn't expecting this ski to have so much on piste performance. Usually a carbon ski chatters, but this was stable and had layer upon layer of edge grip. If I had to pick one ski to have and nothing else, it might very well be this. At 84mm underfoot it can handle a lot of crud and pow and bumps, but it's also not too wide that it can't ski groomers. In fact I was AMAZED how high the on-piste performance of this ski was. I'm an old fan of the Deacon 80 and 84, and those skis have morphed into the Peregrine 80 and 82, but this VWerks layup version of the Peregrine is a must try. I hear it's pretty expensive though, so be sure to check under the couch for some loose change before you commit.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I tried to test playfulness at a slow speed and ended up on my back, my first impression was - this isn’t a playful ski, this is a charger.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This ski turned into a fighter jet once it got up to speed. A fighter jet that isn’t going to do barrel rolls but will lock onto its target and stay the course.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced, this is 100% an advanced ski. It will pull you into the trees if you aren’t making your shins bleed in and out of turns.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

If I could have a closed trail to take this to speed, I’m sure it’d be the fastest, most stable ski I’ve been on. If I tried to bring it on a powder day, I’d prob yeet them into the woods.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

This a nice ski. It turns well and gets up on edge easily. It’s a bit like a race car so you need to stay on them. Interestingly, it carves nicely in both GS and SL turns.

It depends on with whom I'm skiing. Everything from Toll Road to Liftline (slowly) with my wife, to Centerline bumps/woods/any groomer at speed if alone or with other friends. I calibrate to the worst skier so everyone has fun typically

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

These skis were light but stable and a really fun front-side carving ski. They were very quick edge to edge for an 88, held an edge very well, were stable and fairly damp in higher speed carving turns and were just an overall fun ski. They were much more playful than I expected, especially for a ski that feels so stable as a carver. These feel very much like a frontside focused ski, and I would not think they would be terrific in woods or tight bumps and at 88mm likely not in deep powder. But as a front side ski they were a lot of fun - quick, light and easy to turn yet stable and powerful feeling even on otherwise chattery frozen surfaces. Very nice skis.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

These felt very front side focused and are a blast on-piste. I'm not sure they would be as much fun in bumps or woods, as I expect they would grab or hook a bit more than I would like in those settings.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced, perhaps advanced intermediate skiers would likely be able to get the performance you'd want out of these skis, and intermediate and beginners would likely feel overmatched by the ski

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Really fun, energetic front side skis

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I thought this ski was a great frontside carver. It held powerful turns like I was on rails. I was very confident making any size turn and knowing the ski would hold it edge. Very playful with short radius turns.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This is a groomer shredder, it railed through a ton of icy spots, carving was solid all the way. Playful with short turns, and held speed on the bigger turns, a great trail ski!

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

I think intermediates through experts would enjoy this ski. An expert will have any turn at the ready, while it may create sweet turns for intermediate skiers as well, but it will push them if they aren't careful.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Great ski for hard snow conditions.
