G3 Rapid Transit Telemark Ski - 2006

New this season, the G3 Rapid Transit Telemark Ski floats the pow, kills the crud, and holds a hard line with its innovative asymmetrical shape. The Rapid Transit gives big mountain float a serious dose of versatility with its asymmetrical shape allowing it to hold an edge when you run into that unexpected patch of boiler plate in the middle of an off-piste line. The fat 92mm waist provides both float and stability for playing in the powder or destroying the crud.

Bottom Line: The G3 Rapid Transit Telemark Ski is a powder train. Come on ride this train, and ride it.

Almost perfect

By: Dominick Layfield
November 7, 2007

I've been skiing fat planks (Atomic Teledaddy) since the 03/04 season. The TD's were the first ski that I ever tried that made me say "Wow, these are way better than everything else." For the last couple of seasons, I demoed a variety of supposedly hot skis (Atomic TM-X, Rossi T2, Fischer T-Stix 92, BD Verdict, BD Kilowatt), but none of them really impressed. The Rapid Transits are the first ski in years to wow me again. I was expecting to have trouble adapting to the sidecut, and thought that the asymmetrical shape was a gimmick. But immediately after demoing the ski, I went right out and ordered a pair -- they're that good. Wide enough to get good float in the pow. Tremendous grip on hardpack. Great shape and flex for the bumps. Nice and light for touring. This is an outstanding ski, and almost perfect. Almost? My only, tiny criticism is that I find the tail of the straighter edge a little bit hooky. If I could, I'd round off that corner to make the ski release more gradually.

So since there is an asymmetrical cut, does that mean that they

So since there is an asymmetrical cut, does that mean that they are not ambidextrious skis?

FANTASTIC!

I tried this ski last year at a demo. I was skiing Work Stinx. I immediately bought some. I have to work half as hard with these skis. They immediately made me a better skier. I have hammerheads on them and they rip. I absolutely love them. Just wish G3 would put their skis in the same price range as everyone else. I ski the rockies, mostly Colorado.

Hi! How come when I do Google Search on the Rapid Transits,

Hi! How come when I do Google Search on the Rapid Transits, I get a page (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=G3+Rapi +Transit+Telemark+Ski&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) that displays BackCountry.com's price for them of $389.97? ON your website, you have them for $422.27...What should I know about this? Why the difference (not huge, I admit, but it all helps!)? Can I get them for $390.00 or...?For the record I am a big G3 fan; have had the Tickets for the last 4 seasons..Thanks!Michael GrasseschiBoulder, CO 303-819-1544

What an amazing ski!

By: Garrett Grove
December 20, 2006

The Rapid Transit ski offers a quick-turning ski for its dimensions. I prefer it in consistent snow conditions, and it takes a few runs to dial it in. Once dialed in, the ski offers quick response from edge to edge and good edge control in firmer snows.
