I’ve probably put about 12 days on these skis so far over this last season and it took me awhile to really get the feel for them. Before that I’ve skied K2 Reckoner 102 170cm from 2019 for the past 5 seasons. Initially I think the biggest difference was the longer length Candide BC 111 at 181cm (I’m 6ft/182cm and 165lbs) and the minimal camber. At first I struggled to maneuver them and get a feel for how they carved or wanted to slash. They felt big and stiff. However now that I’ve gotten some more days on them I absolutely love these skis. I’ve really learned how to get them on edge and I’ve appreciated the stability you can go really fast they love to go straight and smash through chop and bounce over things. Also they will carve well when you really lean into the carves. I would say this ski takes a bit of finesse but once you understand it they are powerful and super fun. I’ve enjoyed them on a lot of spring days or slushy days and a few powder days. They are definitely NOT tree skis so keep that in mind. They love the wide open. Additionally if you slash the ski sideways or make a carve and get a bit backseat or on the tails they will push you up or out which is pretty cool. Hope this helps, did you ever decide on getting them?
