This ski has single handedly changed skiing! With the five dimensions places the wider hinge points closer to the ski’s center for better flotation in powder and enough sidecut to carve turns on hard packed snow.

This is my everyday ski, I can carve on groomed and hard pack and float through the powder with ease. On steeps it is extremely easy to turn with the tail rocker you can really snake around in tight areas that where much more difficult before. You will be very surprised by it’s light weight as well. The surface area of a big ski a weight of a smaller ski.

This is your one quiver ski!

A perfect 100? Hmmmm…

When the new rating survey comes on board for “Early Rise” skis, a score like this may make more sense, but a perfect 100 is suspect for anything.

Thanks for the rating however and understand that your opinion is of great value to the Site membership.
