Tried some today at the snowdome, really liked them. Perhaps I'll add them to my shortlist for my next pair of skis.
Any thoughts?

Kramer, very nice ski. I tried them last year in a few feet of new snow, very stable and confidence inspiring. A sort of B2 for deeper snow 
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MY shortlist at the moment is-
K2 Seths
Volkl Karmas
Scott Missions
Big Troubles
and perhaps some B3s. The Karmas felt good at the snowdome, although there wasn't really room to carve on them.

marc gledhill, not so much in the park, but I do like to freeride, and do a bit of jibbing. I'm more thinking of getting something with a bit more float for the off-piste.

"Freeride"? "Jibbing"?
What is this of which you speak?

marc gledhill, "Jibbing" is a thing you do with a parka and a tolerant lady

Didn't Jimmy Saville used to jibber?

You know it makes sense.

Is it the same as "leckin' abaht"?

I think you may be on to something.
What else do you have in your quiver?
Will the Karma cause any over lap?
I have the karma in my quiver, but I don't have a lot of overlap, well I do have some overlap. But I just wanted them darn it!

SnowHot, The only "what else" in most folks quivers over here are........ poles

i'm still trying decide between the karmas and PEs.......... only a couple of weeks till i get to go skiing and give each a try.......
|

SnowHot, if I get them, then I'll relegate my B2s to rock hopping status.
I'm a one ski fits all type of guy, it's just that my all seems to be getting more and more off-piste.

Kramer, Kramer, that is awesome. You'll love the Karmas. But by all means, keep the B2's unless you can get much for them. Its always good to have a second choice on those odd days.
Frosty the Snowman, I'm sorry 
You may be happy to know I sold a pair of my skis. There are two others I may sell. Like the P50's I don't really ski on those much any more, and the teledaddy's because I really want something a touch longer in a powder ski. Maybe the snoop Daddy's in a 174cm.
That will prune my quiver a bit. Good news........If you go skiing with me, I like to share, so you'd have a ton of fun trying out my skis.

have you skied the Missions Kramer?

kitenski, not yet. I've tried the Karmas and the Big Troubles, but not the Missions or the Seths.
|

Kramer, the seths are quite a bit wider in the waist(9 . Will they be as good at carving as the karmas?

SnowHot, I think that they won't be quite as good on the piste, but probably a little better off piste, which is why I'd like to test them.

Kramer, Completely different properties in deed. I think the Seths would be far better for off piste, though the Karmas would be something you could make do!

FAQ
Did I imagine it, or did you really utter "B2" and "Volkl Karma" in the same sentance?
