I took the upper krusts out for the first time and they do not disappoint. This is my first time on reverse sidecut/zero camber skis and it only took a few turns to get used to and a few more turns to fall in love with. Snow conditions the first two days varied from creamed corn to heavy mush and the UKs ate it all up. They turn like a very short ski, but has the float and stability of a big ski. Very little effort is required to make them turn, just lay them on edge and they go.

The last day, I took a short run on refrozen courdoroy and nearly took a digger on the first turn. The reverse sidcut requires much more finesse on the hard stuff. After a few turns, I got used to being very gentle on the edge pressure and everything was fine. You definetly won't be carving huge gs turns on these in anytning hard.

Overall, I'm sold on the revese sidecut for anything soft. They rock.
