Fun Soft Snow Specific Ski

By Ranked #45 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis July 9, 2010

179 Obsethed
I came to the demo wanting to try a variety of skis, with differing rocker and flex patterns, so I came to the Obsethed for the super soft ski. Honestly going in I had low expectations, and was blown away. First of all this ski is scary soft, especially in the tip, and almost the entire ski is rockered. However, it's stable and fun. The rocker did chatter on groomers, but in off-piste snow it was pretty good, as long as I stayed out of the backseat. All turn types were possible, and the Obsethed was excellent in softer snow. This is too soft for a daily driver, but it was a good ski, including the graphics. I think this is what the S7 intended to be.
I demoed other skis the same day, and to view those to compare, check out http://williamrichmondski.blogspot.com/search/label/Gear%20Reviews
