Fantastic All-Mountain Ski

By Dominick Layfield Ranked #31 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis March 3, 2005

Right now, I think these dimensions represent the optimal all-round compromise: wide enough to float fairly well in deep powder and heavy snow, and narrow enough to grip well on hard snow and ice. This ski is also lightweight, and great for touring.

I spent a day with friends switching between seven different pairs of tele skis under challenging conditions (a wild mixture of hardpack, icy crust, and wind-blown powder), and these were my favorite. They are not necessarily the best for any single type of snow (for example, I have a pair of TeleDaddy's that absolutely rock in deep Utah pow), but they do everything well.

I'm genuinely mystified by the reviewer above (Candor) who hated this ski. Because this is a ski that is hard to fault and hard to dislike.
