Finally got to put my new CT1.0s on some snow this past MLK weekend, mounted -1.5cm from factory as per Gregs recommendation, and they were a blast! Sat and Sunday were icy, granular, hardpack conditions at Mount Snow. I really like how well the edges grab and carve, as well as how the stiffness of the ski provides some serious stability at high speeds, but they don't feel heavy at all. took them into the parks and the fun continued! Super playful on jumps and rails, and riding switch is a dream.
Monday saw about 7-8 inches of fresh snow in the Catskills, so I wandered over to my home mountain for that. In untouched snow at that depth, they did pretty well! As the day went on and the terrain got chopped up more, the trails were less powder and more compacted mounds of snow, which was crappy but ripping over the mounds in the CTs was very comfortable. They do a good job at dampening a lot of bounce and impact while allowing me to carve and move around easily.
Overall, my first impressions of this ski were phenomenal! thank you all who helped steer me in the right direction with this one!
