Safe to say, I was absolutely blown away by my first day on these, and have continued to be ever since. These skis are strong and stable enough to feel comfortable sending tight chutes and tackling slopes well past 45 degrees. But they’re also playful enough to throw around and make riding any conditions enjoyable. On top of that, they’re light enough to make touring much more enjoyable than other heavy substitutes.
I bounced around different pairs of Freeride skis before I settled on the havocs, but am now completely set on these being my go to all-mountain ski. I mounted them with shift 13 bindings, and cannot tell you how enjoyable it is to tour with a ski that is light but doesn’t compromise on downhill performance.
