For reference I am 200 lbs, 6' 1". I ski black runs at resorts no problem. My previous touring skis have been Line Sir Francis Bacons, Rossignol Soul 7, and G3 Zenoxides. I was getting a new touring setup and really wanted something great, since I really didn't like the Zenoxides. During my research the Findrs had no bad reviews and mostly raving reviews. They had similar design to the Volkl BMT series, which I tried once and loved. Ultimately I decided on these because of the price and weight. I ended up going with the 184(I usually ski 190's) with Ion LT 12 bindings. After 3 tours I have to say that they have exceeded my expectations. The polyurethane sidewall is everything it is cracked up to be, I skied an ice sheet my last tour and the chattering was to a minimum. These are a well rounded ski, not necessarily excelling at powder. They lack the excessive rocker that most dedicated powder skis have, so they do tend to dive a bit if you lean forward. However, this pays off in the skin track since having more traditional camber will mean more surface area touching in the skin track. Overall I really enjoy them and am glad I sized down with them. I would say if you are looking for one ski in all conditions, I would take this over and DPS, BD, or Voile ski for a quiver ski.
