The Redster Q4 is all about inspiring confidence and boosting skills for intermediate skiers. The piste is its natural home and whatever the conditions it remains unfazed thanks to a Multi Radius Sidecut and the 77mm waist. Along with the composite wood core and Ti Stabilizer this means it is as happy practising short radius turns onTerrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic's World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it's a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether cruising greens and blues or pushing it on reds.Skier TypeThe Q4 is the ideal ski for intermediates who want to progress on piste whatever the conditions. It has the shape and build to produce a variety of turns, with the width for stability whether it is groomed, soft or choppy. It's a ski to improve on, happy at slow speeds whilst working on technique and also comfortable as things get faster and the turns quicker.OverviewShapeIt's 76.5mm underfoot with a 14.3m radius in a 169cm and has Atomic's All Condition Piste Shape that uses a Multi Radius Sidecut and extra width underfoot to produce confidence inspiring handling and impressive stability. The contact points extend right into the tip and tail, working with the Active Camber, to provide excellent edge hold and means you don't need to ski this model long.RockerActive Camber means no rocker at the tip or tail, this increases the effective edge contact for better grip on icy slopes and improved stability.CoreThe mix of Power Woodcore and Densolite ensures good handling without excess weight. The Power Woodcore is an ash and poplar core that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed. The Densolite is a foam core that keeps the ski agile as well as dampening vibrations for effortless skiing.ConstructionDura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.Key FeaturesTi StabilizerA Titanal layer under the core helps with shock absorption for a smoother ride and stiffens the torsional flex for better control and edge hold.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) excellent grip and stability through small and large turn shapes. easy to skid but loves carving too. even though it's aimed at intermediates it was better than expected when being pushed to it's limits.

Available right now, exclusively at ellis Brigham, the brand new 2024 Nordica Unlimited 120 DYN fuses the ski-ability of traditional alpine boots with the uphill capabilities of tour models. A Triax and PU shell offers a powerful yet lightweight feel, but with a smooth and more forgiving flex compared to the lighter, firmer plastics used in some more tour dedicated models. TriForce construction uses softer plastics to provide excellent wrap around the foot and stiffer plastics provide the power that good skiers need; a cable closure on the lower foot easily switches from tightened for downhill skiing to a loser touring feel with an easy flick of the toe clip. Boot to binding compatibility can be a bit of a minefield especially when it comes to tour/backcountry boots, but with the Unlimited Sole design it’s a fuss-free experience with full-length GripWalk soles that offer excellent traction and can be unscrewed should they ever need replacing. Infrared fit technology makes it easy to tweak the snug yet comfortable 99mm last for the perfect fit and a 3D Cork Fit Primaloft® Light liner boosts comfort and foot hold. Full of tech and easy to use features these boots are the ultimate choice for the adventurous skier looking for one boot that does it all.Ability LevelTour4OverviewFitMedium ankle and heel pocket, average instep height with a medium width forefoot and round toe shape.ShellInfrared PU shell and Triax cuff.

After all, sometimes the answers we seek begin with what we already know. For proof, look no further than the Tri Force Cuff found on the new Unlimited boots. Through the years, Nordica have leveraged theirr Tri Force Construction to create a range of boots tailored to the unique needs of today’s skiers. By strategically positioning three different densities of materials – a feat done by no one else in the game – Nordica’s Tri Force Cuff Construction boosts the fit and performance of a boot while minimizing weight. A softer front cuff panel wraps the shin to enhance fit and ensures a smooth flex when skiing and optimizes mobility when hiking. The cuff’s mid layer provides lateral support and helps boost energy transmission. Lastly, an exceptionally stiff spine supports the ski-walk mechanism to maximize power, control, and response. For the Unlimited boots, they developed a Tri Force Cuff that maximizes comfort and performance whether you’re skiing, skinning, or hiking.

This is especially true for the buckles on the Unlimited boots. Guided by a commitment to enriching your adventures, Nordica reimagined how the buckles on these boots perform. And in doing this, they improved the fit, efficiency, and durability of the boots. Instead of classical bales, the Unlimited boots feature a streamlined wire closure system that cradles your foot to offer a precise fit that boosts comfort and control. When it’s time to hike, skin, or just loosen up your boots, you can simply undo the quick-release power strap and flip up the toe buckle to release the closure system, which loosens the lower shell for greater comfort and mobility. And to further reduce weight and provide a consistent and reliable fit, the remaining buckles on the boot use a special magnesium alloy. Buckle up–and never look back–with Nordica’s Unlimited boots.SoleTo be worthy of adventure, a touring boot must be capable of not just enduring but also excelling in the diverse terrain it will inevitably encounter. Guided by this belief, Nordica set out to develop an entirely new sole for our Unlimited boots – a sole that was as versatile as it was durable. It had to offer exceptional grip to ensure it could withstand hiking in the most treacherous terrain – be that a rocky summit, high-stakes glacial traverse, or a parking lot coated in ice. Yet it also had to interface perfectly with countless binding systems while maximizing safety and control. This led to the creation of a sole that provides the legendary traction and performance of the Michelin Gripwalk system while also featuring DYN inserts. This sole is compatible with both ISO Gripwalk and alpine touring standards. And thanks to its screw-on design, the sole can readily be replaced to maximize the longevity of the boot. No matter how you define adventure–or where you pursue it–you can depend on Nordica’s Unlimited soles. [Full Details]
