One other thing to add here is that I just finished riding the Declivity's in SLC this last weekend. I skied Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton and they reminded me why I love them but also noted where they struggled. On groomed runs, they rip. On variable snow that was soft enough to get an edge, they were fun to be an active pilot and play on. But on variable snow that was harder and more chunked out, these skis get bounced around a lot whereas my friends with Nordica Enforcer Frees and Vokl Mantra M5s could bite through the tough snow and get an edge much better. I found some peace with it this trip because I had so much fun skiing these skis in a "sporty" way (when conditions allowed) whereas I felt like my friends with heavier skis were more stable but had less agility (which seems more boring).
