Advantages: A amazing ski to many adavntages.A perfect ski for any ability. Disadvantages: NONE
...Well I bought these ski's at Snow and Rock in Sheffield and when I first used them in the half pipe (carving,steeps,new school,race there good for all) they were really responsive and the stiffness add's to the excellent qualities. Then I took them to Val Thoren at Easter and one cruisy blue's and reds they were so responive and had such a great turn radius and on black runs and off piste they are so agile. The price is perfect I got mine for £200 and put some off my own bindings on. They are a wonderful ski for intermediates, and experts alike. Carving,speed,off piste,crusing and new school there great. Definatly worth considering for this sesaon.A must buy for any improving skiiers.

Advantages: Good in difficult slopes, accurate handling in most situations Disadvantages: Handling in high speed not most accurate
...Based on my experience, Fischer Alltrax Border-X is a good carver for advanced users. I have used it in standard downhills (not off from the slopes) and it offers good grip from the slope.
The handling in high speed is, however, not the most accurate in the market.
Fischer Alltrax Border-X is pretty durable and it most likely will last for a long time. Mine are >2 years old and they are in good shape.
Hardnes is only average eventhough it contains Fischer Vacuum inner. But, like said, this carver is not meant for high speed.

Advantages: Go anywhere do almost anything - on snow, of course! Disadvantages: Snow melts :o(
...'t be too choosy. First impressions? A bit wide, aren't they??? I expected it, of course, as the magazine review put them in the 50-50 off-piste/on piste bracket. But under foot they were still very wide. I began to worry that they'd be too wide and too heavy. Bindings set up and off we went... the 5 year old lad wanted to try out his new sledge as he couldn't ski there and then!! The B2's would get tested the next day.
So let's take it step by step:
Low speed on piste:
First day, I snap into the skis in the main lift area of the resort. They don't feel too bad. The width is a little disconcerting, but they feel just like any other ski. Not too heavy, not too light. Punting around to the first lift proved that the ski was easy to handle at lower speed belying it's girth. First stop was a wide, straight green run that was used as a teaching...
