I've only skied my black 96 twice so far but they put the biggest smile on my face compared to my other skies

88 was a blast last season. Got it because we had crap snowfall along the I70 corridor last season. One of the most fun skis I’ve been on, ever. Glad they brought the black back and with the design changes I think I’ve got a good idea how they’ll ski, all the review and anecdotal info aside.

The only other ski I may pull the trigger on is the QST 98. It looks like it could be a lot of fun with how it’s rockered.

Looking forward to taking my 96 Blacks into some light powder in Furano, and expect they'll be my daily drivers for Nagano/Niigata train-ski trips this winter.
