Depends on what you want from a ski with an All Terrain Rocker I suppose...

Better stick with the piste skis.

Its a powder ski Bandit. I don't want a powder ski. And I don't want piste skis either. As well you know :twisted:

Tony, get testing :D

I don't live in the mountain like you, and I am not going to MK to test skis, you just don't get enough to get a feel for them.

MK/Hemel/wherever will give you a feel for a how a ski is balanced, and what it's like at low speed on hard pack. It's not possible to run a ski at speed, but it's far from a waste of time.

98 is quite modest by today's standard and for powder days people now get out their really fat boards. 98 is actually not bad for an all-rounder. You can do more research and don't be confused by the TR - off-piste it is pretty much irrelevant, you actually want less sidecut. For the piste 21m is still reasonable, it probably won't be the most maneuverable ski you could find, but unless they are silly stiff they should be fine. I find that you can do shorter turns with longer radius skis but not the other way around. But they sound quite heavy for a touring ski, my JJ's are lighter at 175 while being almost 20 mm fatter. For touring something like Atomic Access/Atomic Charter will be way better and won't feel like tanks on feet even with Dukes (actually Tony can do with Barons). But if you don't want 100mm waist (quite versatile IMHO) then look into those Bushwackers, Tony, they may fit your bill better. Also, all-mountain/freeride/touring and telemark categories are not always accurately represented at conrad, so don't let this confuse you. If the ski is labelled as touring it doesn't mean you can't ski them elsewhere.
