Flaunt your battle scars

By Angus Bohanon Ranked #11 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis October 26, 2008

This ski crushes in the park and on the bumps. The bindings are pretty much center-mounted, so you always know where your ski is in relation to your foot, always land the moguls perfectly, and can carve like nobody's business. I have to agree with paulsinger though, the top sheets are a bit, shall we say, delicate. I was trying to perfect a 360 last season, and I'm *ahem* not very good at it, so I often landed a bit off-kilter. Combine that with crossing your skis occasionally on jump turns and in the steep stuff, and the top sheet looks like it was put through a wood chipper before they glued it on. It doesn't affect the performance of the ski at all though, and when you get in the singles line and ride up with strangers that keep eyeing your ratty boards, they'll be even more impressed when you get off at the top and shred out of sight.
