Nordica have mixed together wide diMen'sions, a shortish sidecut radius, and the sort of construction you would expect to find on an expert level piste ski, to produce a beast of an all mountain ski. This thing just rips up whatever is in front of it with deep trenches on hard pack and smooth floatation through powder, making it a huge hit in all our tests. The binding system is XBS Alu for a massive powerful sweet spot, while the construction uses Nordica's Sidewall technology, which works in perfect harmony with the XBS and provides tremendous grip and super precise power transmission. This mix works beautifully and the end result is probably the best 78mm waisted ski on piste, and one that still rocks when it's taken off the beaten track.
