The Speed Zone belongs among the race-inspired carvers in the category. It loves high speeds, hard snow, and high-edge angles. The difference is its quickness and relative ease of use. Where the other arc machines tend to be GS-inspired, the Speed Zone loves a tighter arc and abides slower speeds. Throw it out as far as you dare; it locks, loads, and reliably catapults you back across the fall line and into the next turn. “Amazingly good,” said Elling. “Elegant and smooth, easy but strong on edge.”

Strengths: Stability at Speed, Hard-Snow Integrity, Quickness/Maneuverability
