These skis are manufactured with Titanium and balsa; giving the skis lightness and reactivity. If you fit them out with touring bindings you can happily use them as a touring ski.
The Astral 88 by Nordica is versatile, at ease on piste but also off piste.
On piste turn initiation is a breeze thanks to the well-designed front rockers. The edge bite is regular even at the end of the turn when the pressure can be stronger.
Changing direction is also easy even when on the edges, you don’t stay locked into the turn.
You can choose long or shorter radius on compact snow.
The performance and reactivity are responsive if you push them.
Off piste they are capable of staying on top of the snow, but not in really deep powder. On bumpy ground and choppy snow, they react well.
These Nordica skis are designed for intermediate to expert skiers. A very good ski in the All Mountain range and they win the test4outside FIRST Award.
