FIRST

A rocket. An ultra-fast ski so you’ll need a Superman physique to experience the mega-high speed limits this rocket provides. The stability is practically immoveable, (except over mounds of snow on piste). Otherwise it like a flying Buddha, serene at high speed, there is definitely some Giant DNA in there. The ski is on the heavy side when you carry it but spot on when you ski. The weight is masterfully distributed and therefore easily managed, releasing no inertia in the tip.

The arcs are limited you can extend them but you need power to curve them. They do however deal well with extensive angulation. Once in the turn it is on its way, you can pull it out if you have the power, if not you can easily skid it. This is a ski for attack mode, with fore body positioning, your tibias leaning hard on the front of your boots. Beautifully crafted and the upper edges limit wear and tear. The metallic tip improves its lifespan without interrupting the balance of the tip, zero inertia.

It’s a marvellous ski to travel in long arcs at a good continuous speed, but you need well-groomed and spacious pistes. This ski allows you to push your limits in comfort and safety, whilst enjoying feelings like a racer but accessible. It’s major advantage is that you can easily, at any moment, skid it out.
