Pros: Initiation, edge grip

The Good: Initiation, edge grip
The Bad: Long turns, energy
Verdict: The amphibio technology that is the main feature of this ski—which uses an asymmetrical design with rocker on the inside edge of the shovel, and traditional camber on the outside—makes it remarkably easy to turn at slow and moderate speeds. Go a little faster though, and the chatter picks up. Good on-piste performer.
