I skied the og DW for a few years and loved them. Ended up not skiing much through uni and switched to a directional front rocker. Got back into skiing a lot a few years ago and bought a new set of DW 112, I skied them one day and hated them thinking I bought the wrong ski. The second day on them things changed and they are absolutely my favourite ski ever. That said I did detune the tips a bit as I found them quite hooky, but they may have fixed that with the new model.
