treat yourself with a D3 NEO with ION design (pic 2 and 3)
NEO inside - ION outside
the D3 NEO is designed for skiers who prefer to snap the turn
fast initial acceleration
very good deceleration
some skis are test skis with very minor signs of usage

The NEO is designed for skiers looking for quick turns, quick acceleration and quick deceleration.
The NEO has a wider front profile relative to its narrower tail - which allows to control the back of the ski throughout the turn.
While the ski is slightly narrower in front and under the bindings compared to the ION 2, the NEO has the widest edge to edge bevel footprint and deepest concave of any D3 ski to date. The added concave volume means more initial acceleration and better deceleration when you need it at extreme short line passes.
The bevels are larger than both the ION 2 and the NRG R2 which means the ski sits slightly deeper in the water - with great stability and feel.
