Hi, markojp.

 

I skied them in mixed conditions at Snowbasin last February and liked them a great deal.  The Kiss of Death is the replacement to the Jimi 110.  The KOD has similar geometry to the Jimi but with a more pronounced early rise in the tip.

 

It's a very smooth ski that's great for powder and chop and yet skis pretty well on smooth snow and groomers.  I skied the Jimi as my powder ski two seasons ago and loved it, but I think the KOD is a better ski than the Jimi.

 

disclaimer: I've been an on-mountain rep for Head.

Thanks Bob. I skied the Infernos several days last season and thought they were pretty darn nice. I've got another ski on order for the bigger ride, but it's looking more and more like they won't be able to fill their pro form orders and was thinking that the KOD's might be a nice plan B.

6', 205... 191?

I weigh 15# less and skied the 191.  That's definitely the length.
