Black Diamond Megawatt Ski

5 Star Rating

Mega-WHAT!

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #507 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis October 17, 2008

These skis rip. The BD megawatts are the perfect fat ski to add to the quiver. They can make 5 inches feel like 10 and still get you down deep enough for those blower face shots that we all love. I skied these all last season and was just blown away. The thing that I like most about them is how quick you can throw them from side to side, and you will definitely be needing to throw them to the side because with these skis you will be flying. Also unlike many of the fat skis out today, the watts handle surprisingly well on the hardpack, you know for those resort pow days.
