I believe it is one of, if not the best ski on the market. I took my first deep water start 14 years ago, at the age of 46. A couple years ago I got on a Mapple 6.0 and was very happy. This Spring, April 2017, I bought a T3 from KLP. He took service to a new level, in my opinion. I visit Kris, just after his leg surgery, he sets up my ski, jumps (maybe not jumps) in the boat, watches this old hack, adjusts accordingly. After a month or so, he calls, says he's going to be in the area, how about he watches and if he likes the settings.
My goal this season was to qualify for Nationals in slalom and today I met that goal on a T3 in M6. In large part I thank Mapple Skis, especially Kris & Jeff Rodgers (aka a few tips from Jeff also helped a lot). I won't be scaring the guys on the podium anytime soon, but it is sure a sense of accomplishment for me.
Bottom line, do yourself a favor and try this ski.
