If it's long & fat enough it'll be stable at speed, as long as the sidecut isn't very rad. In Chugach pow you won't need much sidecut on a soft ski- the longitudinal flex will be enough to make some nice turns. >I'd love to have a demo under the right conditions. You & me both- but I don't expect to see the "right" conditions anywhere east before the next ice-age. (Well, maybe in the Chic Chocs on a really good year...)
