Blizzard is coming out firing with the new Phoenix series of frontside carving tools, and the Blizzard Phoenix 7.2 Skis + TLT10 W Bindings are a prime example. If you thought 72mm was a "beginner" waist width, think again - the best carvers in the world (racers) are all on 65mm skis, and mid-seventies is actually a great all-round waist width for firm snow. The Phoenix skis are made to suit more experienced skiers who live for carving precise turns on hardpack, and deliver spectacular results.
