Elements of Salomon’s race-specific products began to trickle into North America last season, starting with this all-around groomer destroyer. The S/Max Blast performed extremely well in Taos. Testers noted the Edge Amplifier technology increases power transmission from binding to edge, and also garnered comments like “made me smile,” “super quick!” and, perhaps most telling, “category definition ski.”

STRENGTHS: Hard Snow, Stability at Speed
