This ski allows for easy turns and a good center of gravity for better balance at high speeds. You can shred the park or cruise some groomers on this ski. Extremely versatile and smooth.

This ski is such a great value. Being a more advanced skier this ski holds up to everything I threw at it. So much fun on the east coast, and covers such a wide range of skill sets.

The X-drive 8.3 is a quick turning nimble ski. Great in the bumps but holds a good edge on hardpack and ice. Light weight compared to other skiis. Good for imtermediate to expert.

I skied this at Stratton in single digit temps and very firm conditions. The ski gripped the hardpack and it never got nervous at speed. I felt like i was snapping off quick turns but silky smooth. I loved it!!

The Salomon X-Drive 8.3 is one of my favorite all around performing system skis. Great grip on hard pack as well as enough waist width to get you through any varied condition.

Pros:
Quick edge to edge and down the hill. Not choppy at all very stable.
Cons:
The ski doesnt want time off it just always wants to go go go.

This ski is very fast. It is also very stiff. The ski likes to be ridden hard. It is not a fan of slow turns due to all of the carbon inside. If you are looking for a stiff ski that wants to be skied and not have any time off this is the ski for you.

Cons:

This is a terrific ski for an intermediate to advanced skier who spends most of his time on groomed runs but occasionally wants to dabble of Piste. The ski feels light, is quick edge to edge, has good grip on the hard pack but is soft enough to let you play in the bumps. This ski is a lot of fun.
