A fabulous light ski

By Ranked #71 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis March 10, 2009

This is the nicest backcountry ski I've used, and I've used a lot. It has a very even flex, has lots of rebound energy, is super fast edge to edge, and can be skied equally well in long- or short-radius turns. It floats extremely well in deep powder without skimming you over the surface like a much wider ski (it's shovel is 121 mm). In other words, it puts you in the medium, but rides high enough to make powder skiing fun. It also skis windpack and crust surprisingly well for such a light ski. With Dynafit Classic bindings and light-weight skins, there isn't much that can match in terms of feeling like you have only feathers on your feet.

A legendary ski that will be loved a long time.
