Pros:
Energetic, fun, light, great edge hold, super versatile, quick edge to edge, accessible performance.
Cons:
Lacks stabilty at top speeds compared to others in the category but isn't trying to be a race ski. Left and right specific ski.

Yes
The Ripstick has carved a unique niche for iteself in the 88mm All-Mountain category as it blends excellent edgehold, fast edge transitions and energetic short turns in a relatively capable and approachable package. I like the easy to turn nature of this ski that's packed with a ton of versatily. These skis are left and right skis as they have asymmetry built in to enhance the dynamics of the ski for 2 edge carving (Amphibio tech). While this wouldn't be my personal ski, I feel it is a great ski for skiers that love to ski all day but aren't looking for a GS ski with an all mountain build (ala Mantra 88). Excellent choice for advancing Intermediates and advanced skiers. It's hard to go wrong with the Ripstick!
