I love this ski! Nimble, fast, stable. Whatever I wanted to do, wherever I wanted to go this ski was game. I did not want to give it back. I didn't get enough time with the skis though, as when I was taking them out, a woman came and wanted a go on them. She was on the Tierras, which I hadn't tried, and I told her that after I had a run on the Fuegos we could switch. She followed me down the path of my choice, and I convinced myself to keep my deal despite the skis devilish temptations. Unfortunately when we got back to the tent, there was someone waiting for the Tierra, and the rep told her that the woman on them said she'd be back with them after a run, but neglected to mention that we were planning on switching skis. Didn't end up getting to try the Tierras. Oh well, the Fuego rocked my world enough for the both of them.
Been daydreaming about the Fischer Vision Vapor and the Volkl Attiva Fuego all week.
