Where’s it going to be skied: All-mountain with freeride aspirations. The innovative shape creates a surf inspired all-terrain performance ski that will cruise through anything. The big shovel and 89mm waist make it super versatile, working especially well in soft snow. Medium radius sidecut is effective on groomed trails.

Who’s going to use it: Wide range from confident intermediates up to good advanced skiers who enjoy skiing anywhere on the mountain. Full wood core and sidewall construction ensures power and precision when pushed, pintail geometry adds forgiveness.

Key features: V-Shape

Tester Comments: Kelty (Aviemore) ‘Very stable and smooth at different speeds, nice and lively from edge-to-edge. A lot of fun.’

If I had to put 1 pair of skis in my bag this winter it would be a pair of these.
Richard Gaffney UK Ski Test Tour - SNO!Zone
Excellent all round ski - I may be prchasing a pair very shortly.
Peter Smith UK Ski Test Tour - SNO!Zone
Very lively on short and long turns, good speed stability.
Clyde D'Mello Test at MK SnoZone
These skis are definitely like Marmite - in my case, I found them difficult to turn, the tail seemed to fight shorter turns. On the mountain in deeper snow with longer turns, they may be fine, but they are not a one ski for all purposes as some claim. Went on to try the Enduro XT800 - fantastic - bought them instead.
