I've been on my 2018 for a few weeks now and have a handful of sets on it. I came off a 17 Pro build, ski 36mph -22 thru -35. This ski is the real deal! I love the support it has in the turn and how it makes everything feel smooth. The 17 turned great but I think the 18 turns even easier and grabs angle smoother. I can feel the front of the ski just curling in towards the center in the turn. I have been experimenting with early transitions at 32, 35 and the ski loves it, carries out more than I thought it would. The ski is at the next level for balanced. I feel I can ski the way I want and know the ski will support me and create angle easily. My 35 attempts have been more consistent and easier, especially coming out of my offside. Its been a fun ski to ride!
