SKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKI! I have a pair of Atomic ARC SL (200cm). I LOVE them! Provided I can stay on top of them they are very fast and responsive. I find that once I get tired they tend to run away with me, though. I would say they're a bit stiff for powder, but so far I've managed OK with them - not that we get much powder here in CA! For bumps, groomed, and any steep stuff they are fine - but don't forget that they are slalom, not GS, and so like short turns more than long radius ones. I have had some near- religious experiences with effortless rebounded short-swing turns on them! As you might anticipate, I recommend them highly! patrick
