"I was very impressed
with the overall feel both uphill and down in the mid-winter Colorado
snowpack. The skis are easy to maneuver with a perfectly
marked pivot location that facilitated effortless kick-turns on
the uphill. A surprisingly snappy and stout feel for such
a lightweight package on the downhill, it didn't take long to
figure out that these skies loved to make tight quick turns.
In Alaska skiing everything
from gentle glacier pow runs to 50+ degree variable crud with
a 40lb. pack to tight corn filled couloirs I was able to really
get a feel for how far I could push the Sintesis. In Alaska it
was apparent that the Sintesi is simply one of the best all
around ski mountaineering tools available. While touring around
6000 ft per day, the skis were a pleasure skinning as well as
on my back for extended booting sections. The skis handled
very well in "no fall zone" areas, confidently holding
their edges on the most bulletproof hardpack and were very well
suited to tight, very steep lines with the very low swingweight.
The Sintesi's overall good performance proves that there is certainly
a place for a lightweight ski alpinism tool in the modern guide's
arsenal. "- Mike
