Ski Trab Stelvio FreeRide Alpine Ski
By Thomas E Campbell
Ranked #179 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis
March 22, 2011
When these arrived at my local ski shop, the employees were all stunned. I think the comment was 'sorry they're so wet, we've all been drooling all over them.' The more meaningful indication of their quality was that the 2 skis measured exactly the same in grams: basically unheard of. These are a tremendous ski for the weight, and even without that consideration they are an excellent item.
I used it out of bounds in UT, at Solitude, and in the backwoods of the Adirondacks. Therefor they had a chance to play in 1+ foot power, and on rain hardened ice, and everything in between. They did just dandy on all of that. I went relatively short - I'm 6'2", ski these with a 25-45 lb pack and am 180+ - and the 178 was great. I am not a super aggressive skier, and at higher speeds on groomers there was very little chatter - although the light weight was notable. An excellent item and if on sale a great value.
