Cons Damp, heavyHeavy, poor flotation in powderExpert skier focused, on the heavier sideSome chatter, demanding for intermediate skiersIt skis you, sluggish edge to edge
Bottom Line With these on your feet, you'll be ready for anything the mountain has coming at youA combination of raw explosive power and stability puts this ski well ahead of the competition for carving and is ideal for even the firmest snow daysNimble and predictable, this hard-charging ski inspires confidence no matter how deep the powder getsThis ski prefers a strong and athletic pilot to get the most maneuverability and reward out of itLet this super predictable beast take the decision-making out of the equation as you explore the whole mountain
