A Versatile Option

By Backcountry.com Employee September 4, 2009

I tried out the Salomon Shogun Skis last year and I was definitely impressed. The combination of the dimensions, sidecut and flex made the ski feel like it could handle most anything you threw at it, but with less effort than usual. Also, Salomon put in just enough tip rocker on this ski for it to float on light to medium pow days, but will still lay down some nice turns on machine manicured snow. The only gripe that I had with this ski is that the biggest and strongest hard chargers will be wanting the 191cm version. It is a great everyday ski alone and in a quiver or for that skier who lives in the East, but ventures West frequently to ski. Nice work Salomon!
