Cheers Gary, really glad you liked the skis, think they went down pretty well with everyone once they got on them! Some even went for it and tried the Preachers and we had a great week with everyone so cheers!
ps hate to be anal about this but they would have been the 166cm One's!!

the_doc, I also stand corrected. Was thinking of the Pilgrim's. Whilst on that subject, I haven't skied the One yet so how does the One compare to the Pilgrm?

No worries spyderjon! Found the ONE's more instantly "likeable", the Pilgrim's took some liking for me to rave about them, I wasnt that impressed by the first run but was sold by the end of the week! The ONE's were more playful with better feedback for the snow underfoot (definately a trait of WDF's ski line) and softer (but the excellent torsional stiffness keeps really good edge grip on anything apart from boilerplate), whilst the Pilgrim is more freeride biased and wouldnt work too well in the park I feel the ONE's are more of an all-round jib ski due to the more trad sidecut (119-89-113 on the second batch prototypes). Saying that the guys that were testing the skis out with ozwhit were more in the BASI Inst mould rather than jibbers and we got some awesome feedback from those guys on the skis mounted on the "Freeride" mount rather than the "Freestyle" ONE's.
Personally my own ONE's are mounted 2cm back from centre and I managed to score some knee-deep 2 weeks ago (for the record the trad mounting is about 7cm back I believe) and the float they generated was awesome aswell with a really nice flow from turn to turn and lots of pop and rebound off the turn, something that makes them ski a lot thinner than the dims suggest, again another trait I feel we've achieved with the range so far.
Overall I'd say it's a really versatile, fun ski that will work nicely as an all-mountain twin. We're still working on certain elements (trying to re-profile the tip/tail and finalising the flex pattern) but having spoken to the other team riders (Ali Watson and Mani Eder also in the 'Hof) it seems to be a really popular ski with everyone.
