Just wanted to drop you a few lines about my experiences with my Head C180 skis I got this past year. To be honest, I couldn't imagine being much more pleased with them overall. Very easy to turn and manipulate, but still giving you the forgiveness of lesser performance skis. I own 156's and even being that short, they pick up speed quickly enough and maintain that speed in all but the most level of run-outs. The intergrated Tyrolia binding has been a perfect match for this ski as well. Very easy to adjust and allowed a smooth exit when needed(yeah, I did tumble a couple times this year).
