The Crystal is a great looking, ultra-light, nimble- and one of our testers favourites- piste carver skis. Developed from the successful Rush line from this year the new model is ideally suited to someone with a couple of holidays under their belts. The Crystal is very reassuring underfoot yet agile- this means that even in intermediates hands they become playful, grippy and reassuring. Vanessa, a blue to red run skier with about four weeks skiing to her name, found them very quick into the turn, easy to carve and she felt that they gave her lots of confidence for short carveir skis with more than adequate amounts of stability for an intermediate to advanced level of speed. Light, sexy intermediate carvers for a sporty intermediate.chris
