Black Diamond Verdict Telemark Ski
Snappy and Stiff

A lot has been said about this ski. I Tele skied a 180 with about 15" of Powder. The more I skied it the more I liked it. Exceptional flotation in Powder. If it had just a little more sidecut it would turn a little quicker in my opinion. With the proper binding set up it can be extremely lightweight for a wide ski. Although I'm not sure I would personally tour this ski. It seemed more of a big mountain ski. Very stiff and quite snappy. Almost too snappy for such a large ski. Really need to ski these things hard. If you're looking for a Powder ski give it a whirl. Also, Check out the K2 Anti Piste for the same application.
