Progressive, reassuring and fun. A great ski to learn how to carve and find your way around the hill, a nice large sidecut teamed to the smooth flex inspires to make skiing an adventure. A major plus with this ski is that it comes with one of the safest bindings on the market, so if you are nervous about your knees then they provide great release in rearward twisting falls. Again the Dynastar Agyl is up there as they are so nimble and easy to use, maybe not quite as smooth as the Verse though. A Verse 8 is also available which is best suited to light intermediates or one or two week skiers looking for quick improvement and forgiveness from their technical skills!
