Black Diamond Verdict Ski

Item #BLD0368 | 0 in Stock

OK..I asked about the Havoc and you referred me to the Verdict...

By Ranked #113 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis November 21, 2008

OK..I asked about the Havoc and you referred me to the Verdict as another good choice...no weights given for Verdicts..can you compare the Havoc and Verdict for a ski that will do powder, crud, crust and to a lesser degree a groomed surface...no I am not so concerned about weight but I do plan to skin in and climb on multi day BC trips..lastly which would be the easiest to intiate a turn? Turns rather than speed are my concern. Still looking at Dynafit Comfort or perhaps the Freeride Plus..thanks..

The havocs turn better. Are you tele or AT? Just grow a set and get the fatter ones._______________________Seconded, the Verdict will just be more fun.I have both the Havocs and the Verdicts. The Havocs have a better turning radius and are better for trees and bumps and have better maneuverability. The Verdicts will charge anything you give them and they are light enough to make them a viable touring ski but aren't as responsive as the Havocs.
