Best ski 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
While it already scored high in last year’s ProSkiLab™ reviews, this year’s model takes first place on the podium. Highly intuitive and easy to handle, it will give beginners and fledgling riders the confidence to go further. In addition, this highly progressive ski will help skiers to make technical progress and to move on to the next level, notably carved turns. Warmly recommended by the ProSkilab™ reviewers.
Review: Pros
- Exceptional accessibility
- An incredibly enjoyable, intuitive and easy to handle ski
- Astonishing performances given the ski’s lightness
- Instant turn initiation, easy rotation
- Good control at higher speeds and excellent carving potential
Review: Cons
- N/A
