Next time i get Harald out to Montana I will get him on these. My guess is that I don't get them back the rest of the visit. He really liked my Kastle MX 78 and thought it was only slightly stiff but certainly suitable for him as on off piste ski. Harald has skied another Blossom ski that he absolutely hated as I understand its a much stiffer ski than the White Out and evidently the tune was also railed. You would not want a lot more stiffness in a ski made this way.

Pardon the bump, but I believe I own the very skis — the very pair — that HH hated, Blossom Fleres. I’m surprised to hear he thought them stiff, but perhaps I outweigh him (170 lbs.) As for the tune, I can’t say. I had them stone ground in order to change the base bevel to a radial .7-.5-.7, so if they were railed, they are no longer. An absolute gem of a ski, but a little too soft for crazy speed.
I was happy to find this thread, though, because I was thinking of replacing my older FX84s with a pair of White Outs but was hesitating over the AX. No longer hesitant, though, thanks to you. The price difference makes the White Out a no brainer. (Now for the binding choice — and the plate.)

I really like the knee binding I could be wrong though I do think it reduces chances of ACL injury
