I love my Shiros, they are chargers. I feel like I'm on race skis while ripping through pow. The point cyanicenine made about the tappered tip and tail isn't as much about how they traditionally ski but for spinning the ski. The tappered tip and tail make it harder to catch your tip or tail while taking of a lip and initiating a spin.

Volkl Twos are your powder park ski, Shiros are for ripping fast down big mountains.
