Not for everyone, but not a bad ski

By Elias Littenberg October 6, 2011

So, an easy-to-turn ski that doesn't chatter on hard snow and floats in pow? Bummer right? The BBR struck me as the skiing equivalent to a mellow surfing long board - it makes life easy for casual skiing all over the mountain. The sidecut easily rolls back and forth on groomed snow and the combination of a wide nose, tip rocker, and a pin tail allows you to ski nimbly thru forests and bumped out chutes without getting beat up by a dedicated big mountain ski. While it won't replace the Rocker2 on most people's wish lists, the BBR is an intriguing ski that's worth a demo and -I believe- is more of a peek into the future of ski design with it's exaggerated combo of sidecut and rocker than a quiver killer of today. Take 'em for a spin and see what you think.
