Black Diamond Verdict Telemark Ski
Faster is better

Ranked #599 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis
March 29, 2007
I've ridden loads of planks and, a few years ago, I settled on Volkl. Then I broke them on a wobbly landing and needed something new. I ride hard and can't afford a ski that is soft or slow. The BD verdict is now my choice. It's stiff enough to handle hard turns on hardpack and floats in the soft stuff super great. The shape and width make it a little stubborn if you're not going fast but open this ski up and the controls are fantastic. I would recommend you know what you're doing first because these can get away from you- but if you like stiff and hard, this is your ski. Plus the weight is amazingly light.
