Big Horn 96 Ski

Winner of various awards for its all-mountain versatility, Sego's Big Horn 96 Ski is your pair of planks if your prefer tackling the entire resort in a day. Start off with some mellow pow slashes just to warm up, and when the soft snow is nowhere to be seen, crank up speeds down the groomers. Corduroy turns into variable crud in the blink of an eye, which makes afternoon-to-close an excellent time to sharpen your park skills. You'll quickly figure out this this ski rides all with equal tenacity.

The Big Horn sports a skinnier waist than Sego's bigger Big Horn, and is better suited for firmer, variable conditions. The camber underfoot springs you in and out of each turn, and holds an edge when the snow gets real hard. This Big Horn has the same rocker tip and tail to let you play in powder when the occasion presents itself. Sego built it out of a poppy poplar core with trixial fiberglass stiffening it up for faster speeds, and there's VDS rubber to dampen vibrations when you're really cruising the corduroy.
