I just picked up a pair of Dynastar Skicross 66 skis. I have not tried them yet but they feel like they might be fun. Does anyone have any experience with this ski?

I have a pair of the 66s

Great skis for hardpack or shallow soft snow. Easy turning for big arcs or small. Excellent edge hold at speed and great fun on wide open cruisers, especially fresh courderoy. Horrible in crud, just not enough width or weight to keep you from getting bounced around. Not built for deep powder either, too narrow to keep the float, lots of work to stay out in front of them. Keep em for cruising, leave them on the rack when theres freshies!

I am an old, (literally), ex-racer. This will be my first pair of shaped skis. In the old days I skied on 200 cm or larger. I picked up the skicross 66 in 178 cm. Will I be OK?

Also, I demoed a couple of skis last winter that I really liked. The Volkl 5 star was super quick and lots of fun. I skied it short, 168 cm and really got a workout. The K2 XT was much more stable at speed and less demanding, probably a better choice for the way I ski today. I picked up the SC 66 when I could not find a deal on either of those models. How do you think the SC 66 will compare to either of these skis?
