Good Features
One of those skis that if you get a chance to ski on it your most likely going to be wanting to keep them. The skis skin well, stop landings switch well and just seem to keep going everywhere else on the mountain without and issue. The Havoc has a full-wood core this does beef up the weight but makes it as tough as an ultimate fighter, so this ski will still be good to go after a couple seasons of serious use. The tails are flat to allow easy attachment of skins.
Bad Features
If you are thinking this will be a good long distance touring ski, probably not the best choice over the long haul with the added weight. But if you want to be able to go big this is a good choice.
