Black Diamond Zealot Ski
Not embarrassed to ride fat

Not like a riding a moped either. This is a review of the 182 from a lighter weight aggressive skier. Obviously great in the blower, crud and pow, the Zealot skis amazing inside the resort down the middle of groomers. And for 110mm underfoot, that's wicked.
Everyone talks about their stiffness. I don't think they are stiff like Volkl Explosivs. These do not have titanal - so the stiffness is torsional. That's why they still rail. The shovel flex and longitudinal flex is pretty progressive. Stiff but completely manageable and no stiffer than all mountain skis like my AK King Salmons.
