Hugely popular in the French Alps the Legend 8000's are great all-rounders for the advanced to expert skier- they do everything reasonably well and are pretty easy to use. They are a touch boring though. The Legend 8000's are one of the more versatile skis out there; but perhaps like most things that try to achieve too much over too much ground, they can end up feeling a little thin or uninspiring.
In the perfect world you would buy a really great on-piste ski for zipping around when the snow is hard and flat plus a second pair- such as Dynastars Big Troubles, for when the snow is deep.
Unfortunately the world is less than perfect and most of us can't take a quiver of skis with us for varying conditions. So the Legend 8000 is well-placed, if not one of the best skis, that can take virtually any skier to any place on the hill, including serious off-piste/back-country without complaint.
Citizen Ski rating: 90/100 for versatility and for being a fine all-rounder. A lot less out of 100 for the aesthetics.

Unfortunately the world is less than perfect so the Legend 8000 will retain its place as a good all-round freeride ski but not an inspirational great.
A range dedicated to freedom lovers. Whether it is the pro
rider who spends all day in the powder or the skier who occasionally
ventures off-piste, everyone will find a ski adapted to their style.
This year, the Pro Rider structure has been redone and it now has
wider sidecuts and 3D technology, without losing the power and
performance that gave it its reputation! The Pro XXL is also now
available in size 187.
