<span itemprop="description">Have spent one season on these skis so far with ~40 days total. I have them mounted with shifts and use them on any resort or sidecountry day with any new snow over 5" or backcountry during/recently after a storm. They float like a 117mm ski should and feel much more planted and controlled than the Bent 120's, especially on variable snow and at speed. The difference in float and playfulness between these and the 120 is really only noticeable when you're skiing backwards, so if you aren't landing switch off cliffs and booters just get these and you'll be a happy camper!</span>
