A splendid design,
a hell of a snow hold,
by far, the best skis out there!
wonderful!

I only have 1.5 days on these new Origen 96 @182 length, but my first race(beer league) was my fastest time of the season and wow can these boards hold an edge like a race ski. I couldn't be happier about their performance on the crud and groomers. My suggestion to you is GO PURCHASE A PAIR OF THESE NOW! I promise you will be happy.

I've been on this ski for 20 days so far this year in very different conditions and all I can say is that I love it. I am 178 pounds and 5.9 and ski 35-40 days per year mostly at Sunshine Village in AB. I chose this ski in 176 cm to replace a 180 Blizzard Bonafide that I've been skiing on for the last 6 years. This ski is different than the Bonafide but is a perfect for my hill where I get good snow all season, although not many days with deep powder. It's a ski that is really easy to both initiate and exit each turn and very responsive in either long or short turns, trees, steeps and narrow areas. I found that on a few occasions on hard snow to have a bit of vibration in the tips but in fresh snow including deeper days it rocks and it floats incredibly! For my weight and height I could've picked the 182 as well, and I did find the 176 a bit slow on flat surfaces but I had them sharpened after a few days and now they are ok. My set up includes a Cochise 120 boot and Tyrollia AT 14 binding which pair quite nicely with a ski that weighs around 1800 grams. Needles to say the graphic is an eye turner!
