The Honey Badger is the go-to ski for park, freestyle and jibbing all over the mountain. Handrails, bonks, hard landings, it doesn't care. It can take it all and it won't break your bank in the process. If you're after a super-playful, jibby ski that is lightweight for quick movements and style in your tricks, then Honey Badger is going to be the one.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It's dialled-in for freestyle, whether in the park, natural features or urban locations. The flex is soft, making it ideal for butters and presses, but thanks to the quality build and decent camber underfoot it still feels good on jumps.Skier TypeThis is a ski that will perfectly suit park or urban skiers, meaning it is ideal for dome and dryslope regulars wanting a light, tough and fun ski, for jibs, jumps and rails, more so than many freestyle skis that are bigger and heavier. It won't suit an all mountain skier as it doesn't have the grip on hard snow or the width for powder seekers, but it will make the right choice for skiers looking for something park specific with light handling and a poppy feel.OverviewShape92mm underfoot keeps it nimble and quick, the 19.5m (177cm) radius ensures stability on landings and rough snow. A 5Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns and keeps an intuitive feel. early Taper moves the widest point of the sidecut so it begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hook ups in soft snow.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreAn Aspen Veneer Core uses aspen stringers to create a lightweight, snappy and engaged feel. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieband, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop and play.ConstructionAny ski that is aimed at jibbing and playing-about needs to be tough, and just because the Honey Badger is light doesn't mean that Line have skimped on the durability. In fact, the opposite is true. 4D Fibrecap construction uses 4 directions of fibreglass, woven across the top of the core for added durability, and a cap construction for toughness. Thin Tips help keep the weight down by using a thin core and sidewall in the tip and tail, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches and abuse for longer, protecting the look and life of the ski.Key FeaturesFatty Base and edge30% thicker base and edge, 2.2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.Symmetric FlexThe same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) A great park ski that won't bust the bank. They feel light on your feet yet solid, perfect for jibbing on whether kickers or handrails are your thing, or just playing over the whole mountain.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1551209211614.1661209211616.5.1721209211618.1771209211619.5.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: CapCore: WoodDemo: No [Full Details]
An 85mm waist, HRZN tip and UltraLight Wood core ensure efficient gliding and speed when going uphill whilst improving overall manoeuvrability. A Carbon Backbone refines the ride going back down by beefing up the levels of grip and power to cope with variable conditions so you stay in control. This is well suited to hut-to-hut tours or shorter ones, focusing on the climb.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The width dictates that this isn't the right option for anyone dreaming of bottomless days and fresh snow, but it does mean that the 85 is quick and nimble for skiing in tight spaces. It's also not the skinniest ski on the mountain and will happily deal with choppier conditions and deeper snow. The flex feels nice and solid for the weight of the ski, giving it excellent edge hold and making it a good choice for skiers who demand performance so they can feel secure and really enjoy the ride down after the climb up.Skier TypeBackcountry skiers who want to keep the weight to a minimum for the maximum ease when travelling longer distances, but who do not want to sacrifice performance. The 85 has plenty of grip and energy when skiing firmer snow. It'll suit a wide variety of skiers from novices all the way to experienced skiers tackling everything on the mountain.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski's edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 85mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge but there's enough wide there if you do find some softer snow and want some width underfoot. The 17m radius (172cm) is long enough to boost the stability, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition. The HRZN Tech tip further improves the overall handling with a horizontal rocker that increases surface area.RockerAll Mountain Rocker use a 15/85/0 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This mix ensures excellent grip and response on firmer snow and when traversing, with some rocker at the front for better planning in soft conditions and easy handling when steering the skis.CoreThe Ultra Light Woodcore is made from poplar and caruba to ensure the weight is kept right down.ConstructionCap Sidewall uses sidewall from the base to the top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge hold. The rounded shape adds durability as it picks up less dings and knocks.Key FeaturesHRZN Tech TipHRZN Tech blends an ABS sidewall construction with an across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker. This adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight. The result is better tracking through chop and crud and less tip deflection – meaning greater stability, floatation and agility.Carbon BackboneAn ultra-light insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilising backbone. This provides exceptional agility and edge hold without extra weight.eB tester’s comments: Dani (Aviemore) A true tour ski that still feels solid. It's well balanced and nimble for tight situations, giving the confidence to go and explore whether it's a short or a multi-day tour.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)16511685104.516115017211785105.517124017911885106.5191340General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate/Advanced/expertTerrain Type: BackcountryRocker: Tip RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, CarbonDemo: N/ASizing Description: Go shorter for reduced weight and quicker climbing properties, chose a longer length for more floatation and stability.

Scott's Superguide 95 is a great choice for stronger tourers and freeskiers thanks to its combination of lightweight and impressive alpine performance. A big reason for this is the wood core of light paulownia that still retains great strength, and the denser beech stringers that bring extra stability. Carbon Aramid layers on top of this improve the dampening further and the 3Dimension Tour Sidecut ensures versatility thanks to its mix of turn radius. It's a ski that feels light on the way up and powerful on the way down no matter what the conditions.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Superguide 95 is going to suit a real mix of conditions and terrain. The mid 90's waist is the sweet spot for freeskiers, offering float for soft and deeper days without becoming too wide and cumbersome or heavy. The construction, carbon aramid fibres and the mix of woods, including the firmer Beech stringers, make sure the ski has plenty of bite on hard snow and grip on steep terrain. The 3Dimension Tour Sidecut ensures great handling whatever the snow and the Tip rocker improves control when things are softer or trickier.Skier TypeIt's a ski that will appeal to stronger tourers and freeskiers who will be happy with a little bit more weight because of the benefits that this brings on the descent. Known for excellent edge hold and grip, you can really push it with total confidence on firmer or steeper slopes. Less skilled skiers may prefer a more forgiving ride, especially when the snow gets tricky, but confident skiers are going to be very impressed.OverviewShapeThe new 3Dimension Touring Sidecut is a revolutionary design for a better touring tuning that combines a tip and tail radius with either a central flat line or a small amount of sidecut under foot. The tip and tail radii allow for easy turn initiation while the flat line or a larger radius provides stability, power and precise edge hold.RockerTip Rocker 320. Combining a progressive shape with increased tip height and radius creates Pro-Tip Rocker. Scott's Pro-Tip provides a more versatile and forgiving ski no matter the conditions. Agility and progressiveness are improved, increased stability in powder and deep snow, plus forgiveness for easier turn control.CoreA full length, Dual Wood Core of paulowonia and beech stringers produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between the middle part and rockered tip and tail. The paulownia has excellent strength to weight characteristics; the beech is tough and strong to bosst versatilityConstructionSandwich Tour. Making the ski as light as possible is important, but keeping the downhill performance is essential. This is why Scott reinforced the ski with carbon/aramid fibres along the full length of the ski. These strategically placed strips are torsionally rigid with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The result is a stable yet lively ride in a lightweight package that's still surprisingly quick and reliable on the ascent and won't let you down on that hard-earned descent.Key FeaturesFactory FinishScott skis come direct from the factory ready to ski with SCOTT's Factory Finish. Factory Finish offers an effective edge angle of 88 degree, resulting from a 3degree side and 1degree base angle for an exceptional performance. The base is finished with a micro structured CNC stone grind so you can mount your skis and hit the hill, no tuning required.eB tester’s comments: Alex (Braehead) Light and firm, for someone whom losing grams matter and skiing on the way down is the focus. Super-light construction makes going up hills fast and ski technical terrain on the way down sure footed.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)162126931111913101701289411320137017813095115211440184General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, AramidDemo: No [Full Details]
The arrival of the Pure Mission 98 Ti means the Mission name is back and it's better than ever. It's an all mountain ski that has the width and stability for any condition whilst remaining excellent on piste. A titanal reinforcement underfoot and sandwich construction provide grip and performance; the paulownia and beech wood core and carbon stringers keep the manoeuvrable. This is a proper all mountain ski that you really can take anywhere.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a relatively wide all mountain ski that is still excellent on piste, a hard mix to achieve but Scott have pulled it off. On firm snow it has bite and grip thanks to the Titanal; the light weight and carbon ensures it feels lively and quick, especially for a ski this size. In choppy and heavy snow the shape and construction allow it to power through effortlessly. A proper all mountain ski that you can take anywhere.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want a relatively light ski but one that has the width and stability to power through variable and heavy snow. They'll spend plenty of time on piste but need a ski for everything on the mountain. A great choice as a one-ski quiver seeing as it is so capable in so many environments.OverviewShapeInspired by remie Heitz, the new Pure Freeride sidecuts provide both stability and manoeuvrability. Shorter radius in the front than on the back, with a long radius under the foot, make the ski agile in any conditions. 98mm underfoot with a 19m radius (177cm) keeps the Mission on the off-piste end of all mountain models with a relatively long radius and wide waist.RockerFreeride Tip and Tail Rocker. Having rocker in both the tip and tail allows for optimal float in deep snow and creates a playful ski, while traditional camber underfoot maintains edge hold and stability.CorePower Wood Core. The Full-Length Wood Core produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between middle part and rockered tip and tail. Paulownia is lightweight with great strength to weight; Beech adds strength and durability.ConstructionSandwich Sidewall Ti/Carbon. The ultimate ski construction for freeride performance. The full-length sidewall construction delivers precision and speed for effort transmission. The Titanal layer makes the ski ultra-stable for high-speed runs. The carbon brings lightness and comfort, for a perfect ski in any snow conditions.Key FeaturesTitanal reinforcementStability and performance are key on compact snow when the grip and the confidence in the skis are pushed to the limit. The titanal reinforcement makes the push on the edges quicker and more precise. The Scott titanal re-enforcement has a unique shape depending on the ski model to not compromise the natural flex and ski rebound. On the Mission it sits in the binding area, keeping maximum edge grip underfoot, whilst allowing the tip and tail more forgiving and lighter.Born and Nurtured in the AlpsThe Pure project is something special that Scott have been working on with leading freerider Jeremie Heitz. The Pure is equipped with a progressive titanal layer that harmonizes the flex and aids power transmission when coming out of a turn. At the same time, the ski delivers more stability, enabling you to hold your line while riding steep big-mountain lines. The Pure impresses with its light weight and performance, thanks to the dual-power wood core “ a mix of paulownia wood and 2 beech stringers that cover the full length of the ski. The combination of paulownia and beech gives an extra edge when it comes to torsional stiffness. So, you can go all in on those high-speed runs, without any chattering skis.eB tester's comments: Luke (Buyer) A proper all-mountain ski. easy enough to ski at slow speeds and slide about and are mega stable for when things get tricky, but you can charge in and out of softer conditions with confidence too. Super versatile and totally capable all over the hill.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)170133981191715001771339811919167018413499121211830General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

The Stance 96 is an exciting new direction for wider Salomon skis. It's firmer and more powerful than any models before thanks to a solid wood core, C/FX layers and twin Titanal laminates. It has the width for soft snow and exploring, and the precision and grip of a dedicated hard snow ski. This makes an appealing mix for stronger skiers who like to ski anywhere on the mountain with no compromise when conditions aren't perfect.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It will go everywhere, from crushing out high speed turns on steep pistes to dealing with any snow that you might find away from the marked trails. It's only possible weak point is the very deepest days, but no all rounder can compete with powder skis on a pow day. That said it does have the width and rocker to deal with most fresh snow runs. It's a departure for Salomon, and very different to the QST 99. The Stance offers more grip and power, competing with other brand's stiff all mountain offerings, suiting a mix of pistes and all terrain skiing that involves much more than the holy grail of untouched powder runs.Skier TypeStrong all mountain skiers who demand grip, precision and power from a ski. Heavier, aggressive intermediate skiers will have no problem on the Stance but its main target is confident advanced and expert skiers who don't want to lose any hard snow performance and need a ski with the profile to deal with all conditions.OverviewShapeThe shape is that of freeride ski, with a 96mm waist and a 20m radius (182cm), built for stability and float. The construction resembles an all mountain ski, bringing power and grip to this all condition shape and is aided by the All Terrain Rocker. The result is a versatile ski for stronger or heavier skiers.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rocker at the tip for improved control and float, with camber underfoot for grip and energy. A smaller rocker on the tail aids turn completion and handling in soft snow without compromising hard snow performance.CoreA full poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness and good ski-to-snow contact while filtering vibrations. A double layer of Titanal, one either side of the core, improves hard snow performance. It increases precision, offers good edge grip and aids responsiveness.ConstructionFull Sandwich Sidewalls maximise the precision and the energy transfer, resulting in the best levels of edge grip and control. Metal Twinframe Technology builds on this to reinforce the hard-charging nature of the ski.Key FeaturesMetal Twinframe TechnologyA double Titanal laminate is paired with C/FX. The top layer of Titanal improves stability and uses recessed windows that are strategically placed in the tip and tail, framing the C/FX layer. C/FX is Salomon's carbon and Flax layer which is used instead of heavier traditional fibreglass as it adds more precision and has better dampening properties. The result of this pairing is a damp ski that wants to go fast regardless of the terrain or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Proper fast charging all mountain ski. Handled crud and chopped snow with ease and were better on hard packed snow than I expected. Not a forgiving ski but I found them easier to control and initiate turns than some others in the same category.  Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)16812694108191890176130961121919501821329611420194018813496116202070General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: Freeride Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

Salomon's Stance 80 is for intermediates who want to ski equally well whatever condition the piste is in. The shape and width combine with the woodcore and Titanal laminate to create a superbly stable ride, no matter the snow. The long nose and tail ensure no grabby turns and the waist provides a balanced platform. Clean carves in the morning on the fresh groomed slopes through to smooth, effortless turns in the afternoon when it all cuts up and many piste models start to struggle. It'll even take you on your first adventures away from the marked trails.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes but not exclusively. It will be happiest on reds and blues, whatever the condition, and that's the beauty of the Stance 80. It doesn't need perfect snow or grooming, it has the stability and shape to feel great when the snow isn't, which is when many other narrower skis will start to become more difficult. You can also take this for a few runs down the sides in the easier off piste.Skier TypeIntermediate piste skiers who want a balanced ski for use in a range of conditions. To achieve this they're prepared to sacrifice some quickness edge-to-edge to gain more stability, but it's still no slouch on firm snow as it has a nice energy about it, zipping through turns. Technique won't be perfect yet and the Stance 80 will help them improve in a range of conditions and speeds, never over precise but with enough performance to encourage and reward good technique. To make the most of it, the skier needs the confidence or desire to tackle more than just groomed snow.OverviewShape80mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it's still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has quite a short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot. This ensures smooth handling in softer snow with good turn initiation and release, with grip and control on firm conditions.CoreThe Poplar Woodcore offers stability, liveliness and forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact.ConstructionMix of sidewall and cap. The sidewall underfoot ensures good grip and precision; the cap at the tip and tail increases durability and aids with some forgiveness at the start and end of the turn.Key FeaturesTi-C FrameThe Ti-C Frame combines carbon windows and a Titanal laminate to create a damp, charging ski that inspires confidence regardless of speed, terrain, or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Joseph (Aviemore) Conditions were definitely variable, but these skis provided a forgiving and stable platform.

Salomon's Stance 84 is a super-stable, high-speed cruiser, that will deal with whatever conditions it faces. This is the perfect model for advanced skiers who want an SUV of a ski for tackling any pistes and maybe some side-piste conditions too. The shape is ideal for range of turn sizes and the construction ensures that there's plenty of energy and grip for firmer snow. The nose and tail profiles, plus the rocker, provide effortless handling when the runs aren't pisted or you're exploring.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It's built for a mix of different pistes plus some less challenging off piste. The dimensions and shape ensure it is smooth and fast on marked runs, whatever condition they are in as they're often not perfectly groomed. In fact, this is where the 84 will shine, when pistes get chopped or heavy and as narrower or more carve orientated skis start to feel trickier, it will handle as if nothing has changed. It's more than happy in fresh snow too, with All Terrain Rocker and the width producing flowing turns and a balanced feel, but it is groomed runs, of any colour, where it really shines.Skier TypeFor advanced skiers who enjoy a variety of conditions on marked trails. Pistes often have less than perfect snow, so by sacrificing a little bit of quickness in the turn there's a big gain in stability on the 84 and improved handling in rougher snow. The full wood core and Ti-C Frame mean you can push the limits, confident in the edge hold and enjoying the energy between the turns; the shape allows you to cruise when it's time to take it easier. Stronger intermediates will benefit from it's stability and should consider it too.OverviewShape84mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it's still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions and float in soft snow. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has medium to short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot.

On piste it makes the cleanest, easiest turns, even when it gets choppy, with a definite fun factor thanks to impressive grip and a nice energy at the end of the turn. Through softer snow it felt just as good: stable and strong to push through the heavier bits, and floaty and balanced when it was lighter.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)169122841051515001771238410616164018512484107181720General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Integrated, M12 GW DIN: 4 - 12Construction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

In fact, this is where the 84 will shine, when pistes get chopped or heavy and as narrower or more carve orientated skis start to feel trickier, it will handle as if nothing has changed. It's more than happy in fresh snow too, with All Terrain Rocker and the width producing flowing turns and a balanced feel, but it is groomed runs, of any colour, where it really shines.Skier TypeFor advanced skiers who enjoy a variety of conditions on marked trails. Pistes often have less than perfect snow, so by sacrificing a little bit of quickness in the turn there's a big gain in stability on the 84 and improved handling in rougher snow. The full wood core and Ti-C Frame mean you can push the limits, confident in the edge hold and enjoying the energy between the turns; the shape allows you to cruise when it's time to take it easier. Stronger intermediates will benefit from it's stability and should consider it too.OverviewShape84mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it's still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions and float in soft snow. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has medium to short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot. This ensures smooth handling in softer snow with good turn initiation and release, with grip and control on firm conditions.CoreThe Full Poplar Woodcore maximises liveliness, stability and ski-to-snow contact while filtering vibrations. This is reinforced with a single layer of Titanal on top of the core for improved grip and efficient energy transfer.ConstructionFull Sandwich Sidewalls guarantees stability and precision, it enhances performance by providing good edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact.Key FeaturesTi-C FrameThe Ti-C Frame combines carbon windows and a Titanal laminate to create a damp, charging ski that inspires confidence regardless of speed, terrain, or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) One of the surprises of the test for me, I knew it would be good but I wasn't ready for just how good. On piste it makes the cleanest, easiest turns, even when it gets choppy, with a definite fun factor thanks to impressive grip and a nice energy at the end of the turn. Through softer snow it felt just as good: stable and strong to push through the heavier bits, and floaty and balanced when it was lighter.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)169122841051515001771238410616164018512484107181720General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Integrated, M12 GW DIN: 4 - 12Construction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

The Salomon QST Blank is about skiing without limits. The design has been led by Salomon's freeride athletes who were given a ‘blank slate’ to come up with their perfect ski. With a 112mmm waist, plenty of rocker and solid C/FX construction it's obvious that blasting down open powder fields or skipping through pillow lines they will have exactly the type of feel, handling and stability you'd want under your feet. However, not everyday is a champagne powder day and these make sure that if you're on firm snow you can still carve up the groomers, with plenty of edge hold and a relatively nimble feel to them they can put a smile on your face when on-piste too.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It will go anywhere, do most things and even put a smile on your face when skiing firm snow, but where it really shines in deeper snow conditions where it's shaping and dimensions really come into their own.Skier TypeAdvanced skiers who want a soft snow focused ski, but also need it to be able to cope with all sorts of conditions and snow types too.
