Great boards. Tried these at a demo-fest in Dec. 2000 when they first came out and was amazed. Pilot binding system allows for even flex (really, no hype). Bought a 2001-2 pair well discounted and like them better, they have stiffened them a bit each year. Stable at high speeds. Size 186cm. True test is when emergency manuevers are necessary. Think and they go. Light enough so if you catch an edge, recovery is a snap. Not wide enough for deepest powder but work great in most conditions. Customer Service NA |

The best ski I have ever put on my feet! The Pilot 10 is almost worth what I paid for them. Good for skiers who like to push the envelope of speed, carving and fun. They are not for everone, top riders who ski technically will think they are flying a F-16! The whole ski is the sweet spot. Steeps, crud, powder, even the lift line (they are so pretty)is this ski's home. I even think a few coudoroy cowboys will enjoy them. Push these boards as hard as you want, they can take it. I got over the sticker shock after my first run. Make a little fire on the mountain, ride this ski HARD!! Similar Products Used: I demo about every ski that comes out during the season. I am a full time ski instructor, so I test drive everything. |

Love these skis for fast runs on at any angle (I like steep), they love to run quickly. Pilot system seems to work and the 912 bindings release well. They are a bit of a handful in the bumps but I found they work more if you really push on the tails, very unusual. Other than that I am very happy, I just wish that I had had the guts to go shorter. 192s seems really long this season. Similar Products Used: Dynamic K2 Rossi |

I just rented these boards at Whistler and they were sweet; I am 5''9", 170 lbs and they were great in high speeds, were able to cut through the crud (I hate groomed runs), excellent (floated effortlessly) in powder. They were a bit of more work in the bumps though so if someone was looking for a bump ski I would hesitate on this one; otherwise I''m looking to buy a pair if the price comes down! I had a blast on these sticks! |

I demo''d these skis at Snowbird. I wasn''t that impressed with the pilot system. I really couldn''t tell the diference from a conventional binding mount. The skis themselves were adequate all mountain carvers, but lacked the liveliness in the moguls. |

I have a hard time believing the review from Vancouver. I have been on a lot of boards. These skiis are a GS style ski. They are very stable at high speeds and big GS style turns. Not nearly enough energy in the short quick turns. The last ski I had really good energy on was the K2 four. The scream 10 was a little dead for me. Similar Products Used: Crossmax, Bandit xx |

I was a bit surprised by the first review. In my experience these skis blast through crud, float on powder, are stable at speed, and carve a wild line. Moguls went well, but I do not think they are this ski''s forte. I guess the main difference is that I''m much smaller - 155, 5''9 and my boards are 186s. |

None I rented this ski at Whistler and was very disappointed. I''m an expert skier, 6'' 200lbs and I ski really hard. This just wasn''t enough ski for me. It felt soft and unstable at high speeds. The ski faltered in moguls and crud. Was good at making short turns. Might be better for a lighter skier. Definitely demo before buying!! Way too expensive! Customer Service ?
