basically, i got these for fun. i am a professional jr skier in giant slalom, but i fell and shattered the tip and broke it in the middle. so i got these to use while i got a good pair. they are so good, in fact, i use them on occasion for races they are great, fast and have a nice flex for screwing around in the park. they are graeat and you should abseloutely buy them Customer Service pretty good, never needed it though Similar Products Used: rossignol jCrobra, rossignol racetiger |

A fun ski on groomers, hardpack and packed powder. Not much float in deep powder, but that's not what it was made for, so I can't fault it for that. I am an advanced skier and these skis are a no-brainer to turn. A relaxing ride if you just want to cruise. This would be a good one for an athletic beginner who doesn't want to buy new skis after they've honed some skills; they're perfect for an intermediate and like I said, a fun ride for an advanced skier who just wants to relax a bit and let the ski do it for you. They do require a good tune, however. Have a local shop put a one degree base and side edge bevel on them. Mine were factory fresh but had 90 degree edges--too grabby. Enjoy. |

Strength:
Turn as you will, bites on hard pack and icy surface makes it a great eastern carving machine.
Weakness:
Its 'biting' power could hold you back on sofe snow as have stated in previous review that "One ski can suddenly decide that it wants to go in a separate direction" which will force the skier to change the edge pressure frequetly that require more muscule work. Unstable in high speed. Have been using it for over a season and am fairly please with it. Cruise down any hard pack and turn when and wherever you want. Great value for its performance. But not a very versatile ski, it works better on hard pack and icy condition but fade in sofe snow. |

Intermediate
Strength:
Can ski fast
Weakness:
Can run away with you and doesn't turn easily. Probably a nice ski, but needs the right person. I felt like I was back on the old straight ski. One ski suddenly sometimes likes to take off with out you. Also, they aren't very easy to turn compared to the regular shaped skis. They were cheap since my cost included bindings-I guess you get what you pay for. |

Strength:
Can ski fast on these
Weakness:
Can run away with you. One ski can suddenly decide that it wants to go in a separate direction. I believe that this is a nice product for the right person. This ski can get away from you if it isn't set up perfect for you. I bought my pair and I thought that I was back to skiing on the old fashioned straight skis. I sure don't miss those. A little disappointed in them, but maybe they will make me a better skier in the long run. They were cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for. |

First things first, I'm a begginer and have only been too the mountain 5 times of those 3 have been on the Cobra x twin deck. After reading the reviews on this sight and consulting with a ski expert I purchased the cobra's and I must say they have lived up too all the reviews. The Cobra's turn on a dime and with very little effort, their plenty fast (for a begginer/high side intermediat). The pow is know problem, glide over the hard pack, and best on packed powder. I must say I made a good decision in purchasing the Cobra X, I recommed them too anyone looking too learn and have fun doing it. P.S. They do chatter a bit on the hard pack at higher speed but your sense of control will stay with you. |
