'The greens' as I like to call them, are the perfect everyday off-piste ski.

Points forts

A very versatile and playful ski, good in all conditions.

Points faibles

One thing I would say that disappointed me about these skis, is that after a winter season of skiing on them most days (due to their versatility) they seem to lose their energy and flex and haven’t lasted as well as I had hoped.

'The greens' as I like to call them, are the perfect everyday off-piste ski. I was initially apprehensive about these skis as they are much lighter than anything I had previously skied on before. I used them with a Dynafit TLT superlight binding and Dynafit Vulcan boots, (A light binding and a stiff ski boot). This combination worked well for me.

The skis were super responsive and gave back a lot of energy and pop, yet were fairly forgiving in choppy terrain. The smaller radius does encourage you to turn however, which can be good or bad depending your style of skiing.

They are a great everyday ski; perfect when you are unsure of the conditions, from fluffy white powder to hard pack and chopped up moguls. Pairing them with a light binding made skinning up to the good stuff much more efficient and enjoyable.
