It took a few February snow days for me to get the time on the Factory Protos; here is my update:

189 145/118/135 - stiff as hell (as expected)
Me: 6' 195 - 55yrs young
I skied them 5 days, and believe that I previously read that it takes at least 5 days to get these broken in. 4 days in at least 10" of powder, usually chopped up after the first few hours. 1 day with less snow and more groomer skiing (for the heck of it). I like the trees and am an old school carver. Usually like shorter radius turning skis, bought these knowing they would ski longer.
Good:
- no speed limit has been found yet, groomer, pow or chop - no worries
- surprisingly good to turn on a groomed surface, can get them to carve like normal long boards
- really good at the chop, the tip does not deflect and you can use the tails to power turns down the fall line
- easy floating (obviously) - leaving my legs with more energy throughout the day (once I figured them out)
- best looking ski on the mountain
Not as good:
- wish they were slightly shorter for trees and tight stuff. But, I'm figuring out how to slarve them
That's about it...I believe that I can feel them breaking in and becoming easier to turn. I'm looking forward to the 10th day on them. It could be me learning how to use them properly; I think a combo of that and them becoming slightly softer with time. In the four days, I've had at least two runs ripping under a chair to cheers from above, so I know they are screaming through the chop.
Good skis - original intention was to buy my first set of "real" powder boards. Now to convince the wife to allow a cat trip, or to book an interlodge at Alta.
