This is two-skis-in-one! What we mean by this is that the Pursuit 300 offers a lot for its price, in other words very high technical qualities. Two-skis-in-one … for the price of one!
If you push it hard at altitude it behaves like a lower level ski, in other words, it is at ease carving as well as skidding. The Pursuit 300 doesn’t have any hidden surprises, it pivots ultra-easily, it holds its course and barely vibrates. You do notice that the ski is lighter than the superior skis in the same range. You notice it with the torsional stiffness on hard snow. You also notice a structure that is less “energetic” especially at constant speed: on a relatively steep slope there’s a slight imbalance up front, the tip moves and you lose control. But at average speeds it handles perfectly.
If you ski in angulation and you have the technical capacity needed it becomes a marvelous tool. You discover a powerful ski, in relation to others in the same range. Carving comes with skill and angulation. Pressure holds the turn, slightly less fluid than its big brothers in the Pursuit range. It vibrates a bit more with less torsional stiffness. But this doesn’t pose any immediate problems. Changing the radius is like changing your mood, easy!
On short turns, steep slopes, it bites well if you are well-balanced. It glides maybe a little less easily than other skis notably on very cold snow.
The most noticeable thing is it is extremely light due to less weight in the ski tip. Which is bizarre at first but as soon as you put pressure on the ski it you will discover a performance ski…if you search for it. And it is also just as happy on the feet of less experienced skiers. It has a good quality look, with a metallic tip and smart top-sheet.
