Lively, Nimble, Devours Pow

By Austin H. January 8, 2011

Currently have these set-up with BD Acension STS skins and Marker Barons.

Could be the liveliest wood-core ski I've ever owned. Poppy, insanely quick from turn to turn, and just wide enough to provide plenty of float.

Rockered tip provides just enough lift in the nose to keep you on top on deep days without slapping maniacally when you have to run the sketchy, hardpack bushwhack bobsled out of your latest skinning adventure. 181 with rocker makes this feel more like a 176.

Chopped up powder at the resort? In my experience, these skis will abuse you. Buy them to crush some sidecountry / tour and you'll be happy, they do it all.

Notched tails hang on to skin clips perfectly and the topsheets shed snow quickly and effectively.

One touring / hiking ski to get you out of tight spots and then slay powder? The CoombaCK gets the award in my mind.
