None of our testers had anything negative to say about this ski, which doesn’t happen often and is a tell-tale sign that this ski will impress women everywhere. Often, a carbon construction can sap the life out of skis, but testers were wowed by this ski’s agility and responsiveness both on and off the groomed and it won high praise for its ability to carve. As one of the narrower and lighter skis in this category, it didn’t plow through crud as naturally as others, but its versatility everywhere else makes it a fun and approachable all-mountain ride.
STRENGTHS: Quickness, Playfulness
WEAKNESSES: Crud Performance, Flotation
