Black Diamond Verdict Ski
skis for big people
By lost in montana
Ranked #678 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis
November 7, 2008
For people who are tall and have a lot of leverage over their skis, the go to ski is the BD Verdict. I used to patrol on 204 cm GS skis back in the day, and push them into slalom turns. The verdict is stiff enough for big skiers driving them with big boots. They float through powder, but when the mountain turns into crud and hardpack you can turn them on edge and cut through it. If you push them on groomers you get launched into your next turn by their snappy personality. Can you tell I'm a ski hedonist? I ski on the 190's, and find these skis to be very fun, stable, and rewarding as long as you stay on top of them.
