Sicker!

By Backcountry.com Employee December 20, 2005

First of all, could these dimensions be any more perfect? I really couldn't dream up anything better for skiing medium-to-big mountains in the West. Plus it's obvious the Wateas are built tough with near-vertical sidewalls and a bomber base. Despite how big these skis may seem, they have a decent sized tail rise and are really easy to vary your turn shape. The tip is just big enough to allow easy turn initiation while still allowing you to decide how to ski the terrain in front of you. It's got a pretty mellow flex, but torsionally it is solid. This thing can straightline Snowbird's upper Cirque with the best of them. If you are looking for a worth big mountain ski that won't turn your legs into Jello at the end of the day, this is your ski. Highly recommended.
