Black Diamond Verdict Ski

Tasty and Delicious

By Ranked #830 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis March 16, 2009

I'm 6', 165lbs, ski hard, but ski both east and west coast. I've got a pair of Armada ARGs for the deep days out west, but they blow on the groomers. I was looking for something that would float well out west but still hold an edge on NE boilerplate.

The Verdicts fit the bill nicely. Stable at speed, able to hold their own on real ice, and plenty of board underfoot to keep you from drowning in the pow. Light enough that a long bootpack won't kill you (though the Dukes I mounted mine with might). Nice subdued graphics. Only downside I've found is that they come with a couple of stickers on the topsheet of one ski, that are a bummer to get off. Otherwise my everyday ski. Highly recommended.
