Perfect blend

By Jamie Preston Ranked #1 - Alpine Skiing April 23, 2009

This is just a great all around ski that will satisfy the needs of most expert skiers. Its primary strength is the ability to simply and effortlessly rail turns - but you must have the skills to really carve or you will get bucked around. As with many wider waist all mountain skis, you might encounter skidding on truly steep, icy conditions - think the upper pitch on Liftline at Stowe when you can see your reflection in the ice. But, if that is primarily what you ski, you need a Tigershark or a pure race ski. As far as powder goes, these will work great in all conditions, but are best sub 10 inches and in the crud. If you bring these skis out west and are lucky enough to get a 20 plus inch dump - rent something fatter. All in all though, these skis deserve all the accolades they get in the media.
