This ski very well may make you a better skier!
Posted by Diamond Dave from The Burbs on 8/17/2026

Pros: Turn initiation, stability, upscale graphics, comes with a binding, edge hold
Cons: Not the most stable at speed, your friends weren't telling you to buy it.

This is a wonderful ski that does so many things extremely well! There is a lot of tech in this ski for the price, and while I won't go into that, I will say it is one of the best and easiest turning skis I have ever skied. That's a really important and bold statement as this is a ski with a binding for less than a lot of flat skis. Let me tell you what this ski isn't: this isn't an expert ski, this isn't and overly demanding ski, this isn't the ski you thought you absolutely should be considering for your first pair of skis. If you want to prioritize turning at moderate speeds, this is certainly one of the best out there. It will handle speed, but the tips start getting flappy. It doesn't phase the edge grip, but it could catch some speed demon early intermediates off guard. It will still initiate a turn well, and provide you with edge hold and confidence. It was a stand out testing skis for this season, and that should give you an indication to how well executed these skis are!
