The Mini Cooper’‘s of the ski world. Slight revisions of these gate bashers for 2006 included a narrower waist and tail; so you still have that huge tip that dives and bites into the hardest snow but now with a slightly more nimble and quicker finish to the turn. An advanced to expert choice for when the snow is hard and you want to feel those legs burn. If you’‘re not a racer and don’‘t need to abide by any rules, try the 157cm for slightly more ease of use and fun, the 152 cm for women. Still a great choice for those wanting quick-turning thrills and they remain a popular choice with instructors in France who want the thrills without the enormous physical demands of a full-on race ski.
