It has its advantages in certain conditions, especially out east.
Stiffer skis are often more Bucky. I can’t have Bucky going 35+ through trees and rocks.

Harv: Titanal. Spelling. That will be a fun ski but likely one that will demand that you pay attention while riding them. I have enjoyed numerous skis with metal in them. In particular, the Line Prophet 100s I had for a while. Heavy ski but no speed limit. As a teenager I had a ski with three layers of metal, the Dynastar MPI Equipe. What an awesome ski this was. The middle layer was known as the "Omega core," due too its cross-sectional shape.

I’ve never equated metal and side cut with bump skiing but that’s just me ?
I love some metal for groomer skiing tho.
I’ve said this before and been laughed at by east coast skiers on forums but…..you want a soft and forgiving ski with less side cut for free ride skiing. Again, that’s just me

Yeah it's not really a bump ski, hence the word quasi. I'll use it for that because it will probably be better for bumps than my "pow" ski. I'm sure just grouping bumps and groomers together shows my ignorance. I had a blast in the bumps at Killington last year with those Head Rev 5's @Cork lent me. Those were metal, and had the same dimensions, I guess we'll see how these work out.
An experiment for Vin too, his first ski with metal. I guess it shows, he misspelled titanol, I followed his lead. If we are deducting points for spelling, it's "due to".

They are beautiful looking skis. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of fun on them.
I just find it funny how much expert skiers swear by stiff, metal skis but in all honesty, it’s not that sweet for free ride skiing in mixed snow conditions. It’s WAY too Bucky imho. Smooth is fast and a soft , fun ski is much smoother if you like ripping through variable snow and terrain.
A giant fat and stiff ski for skiing perfect pow in a smooth big mountain setting? As in heli drops. Well that’s a different story.
