Best rockered pow ski around

By Ned February 18, 2008

Anonymous nailed the review, and I had to add some thoughts.
I set mine up with the new Salomon STH 916, and this set up is really light for the size of the ski. It has recessed channels running down both sides of the topsheet decreasing the weight, and even making them easy pick up.
I love how the tail is not rockered, and only a twin tip. The back of the ski is stiff enough to support a backseat landing, and no wheelie effect like the other rockered skis available.

Due to the rockered tip, they are so easy to turn, and ski shorter than a normal 188cm ski. The tip rides over everything, and even makes chunder and glop fun to ski.

So far they are turning into my everyday ski, as they handled dust on crust and firm conditions very well. They even rail groomers, and this ski really does everything better than a ski of this size would be expected to.

Black Diamond nailed it with the design, and this will be the ski everyone wants next season. Get them while they are still around, and have fun leaving everyone behind in your wake.
