This is a great ski! Most importantly they are very confident in deep snow and on ice weathered slopes. Very easy to drive, I thought. Ski pass the test in the Alps of Austria, on the glaciers. This is a great shell!!

I ski the 192 everyday as my patrol ski, and on my days off too. This ski kills it EVERYWHERE! I'm buying another pair.

I just baught a used, but brand new 2011...green in color...best powder skiis I've even been on...skiied three times...all over two feet of fresh powder...teh snow bourders were laying on their backs all over the mountain while I got to play!!!

These skis are awsome. They tear up anything u put in front of them and have fun doing it. I had 3 powder days with them and they floated so nice and surfy yet still had plenty of backbone for hucking cliffs and straightlining chutes. Its amazing how u can vary your turn shape sooo much with these and turning on a dime is so super easy whether in pow or hardpack. I did one day with these on moguls and and soft spring like snow and they tore those conditions up to. Zipper lining a 115 waisted big mountain ski has never been this easy til now. The carbon bands definately do their job in making this ski very lively and pops u out of each turn. Influence 115 is the perfect blend of playfulness and stability for charging. I am am 155 lbs andthe 186 is perfect for me and I mounted + 1/2 cm with marker jesters and they ski great there. Another thing that is good is that if u straightline anytning on these skis the tips or tails do not flop like many other wide rockered skis. These are def some stable planks, they market them as a big mountain ski but what people don't realize is that even though this ski is made for that and does well it is much much more playful than led to believe. They're almost like a playful opus but with thin sheets of metal that really don't stiffen them up all that much compared to last years metal stiffness. I could go on all day about how great and fun these skis are but just Take my advice and buy these skis they rip. Oh and it doesn't matter where u live these 115s even rail it on the groomers/hardpack better than my 78 underfoot allmountain twintips. I live on east coast but stillget tons of powder throughout my season and this pretty much is my everyday ski bc they're that versatile

I have been waiting to do a review until I skied this ski in good conditions and I finally was able to get some with the Influence 115. The mountain had about 15 inches new snow over the last 2 days and 8 inches from the night before. This is very easy ski, never sank at all even on flat ground at slow speeds. Very easy to make long big turns and just as easy to shut down and make quick turns. It Railed on the groomers, handled the crud with ease, didnt crush the crud but was A LOT of fun through it(I like to pop up in the crud) and lastly it floated like a DREAM. Stiffer than the Opus but definitally not a Crazy stiff 2x4. Still had lots of flex and pop in and out of turns. Couldnt ask for anything better for me. I bought these without a demo and couldnt be happier. This is a great one ski quiver for me and for someone looking for a ski that has a backbone but still just tons and tons of fun.

Stealth bombers. Subscribers to the benefits of the fall-line. Poppy and reactive, most happy in crud, pow, slush, and corn. Directionally inclined but capable of switching it up in most situations.

These skis are a hard charging, directional beast that can still carve and hop around the whole mountain. It's wide enough to float in the powder but has a great turn radius to rail super fast down crud or groomer. There's some early rise but the tips don't flop and I get amazing edge control!

I used these my first weekend in Utah; they only had 30" of base but had had 6" a few days before. They bashed through crud like it wasn't there, floated the little broken pow we had effortlessly, and STILL held a fantastic edge on the groomers. Ive never skiied anything this wide that still carves this well; its unbelievable. Turn initiation on groomers takes a bit of effort, but once they're on edge, they rip around like a GS ski. They are ridiculously stable, and can handle mach speeds withoug flinching. That being said, when it came time to ditch some speed, the tips engaged perfectly and they made it sooooo easy to slash hard turns. They take some manpower to handle, but these are by far the best skis I've ever been on.
