The La Sportiva Super Maximo LS Ski is built to blend uphill and downhill performance so that your day of touring can be even better than expected. The 94mm waist is a little wider than traditional touring specific skis to provide excellent float and stability on the downhill, while the Low Omega Profile further enhances float while also easing turn initiation and boosting overall control. On the uphill side of things the cap construction cuts key grams to keep you charging up the skin track, while skin friendly tails ensure you can stay focused on the side hill instead of your equipment.
As the skinniest ski in Kastle’s TX touring collection, the TX 65 HP Ski is choice for rando racing a ski mountaineering world cup. Each ski weighs just over a pound to keep light on the uphill, and two full layers of carbon keep this ski surprisingly stiff on the downhill. Kastle’s Hollowtech tip also reduces the ski’s overall weight while simultaneously becoming 30% damper. With Hollowtech, the TX 65 HP Ski feels more stable, has a more powerful edging performance, and improves steering for high performance on race day.
The TX 65 HP Ski has a long camber underfoot with a long effective edge that maintains a moderate turn radius ideal for big, technical mountains. The Fast Grip Shovel tip quickens the ski’s response time at the beginning of each turn, and the Fast Grip tail allows a more aggressive and precise performance at the end of each turn. Kaslte made the ski out of a light, poppy karuba wood core sandwiched with race-inspired sidewalls for a stable ride at high speeds.
At two pounds per plank, the Hagan Ultra 82 Ski is an ultralight option for ski mountaineering. It’s light and nimble for technical ascents, and as the second-widest ski in Hagan’s Ultra collection, it can still handle a rowdy downhill. Carbon stringers stiffen up the ski so you can gain some speed down tight, steep couloirs, and there’s plenty of camber underfoot when you want to edge your way down, even when the couloir is icy. Hagan rockered the tip ever so slightly to ease turning if you score some softer snow at higher altitudes. The ski has a light paulownia wood core encapsulated in ABS sidewalls for extra durability. The tip and tail do not have sidewalls to reduce weight and enhance swinging.
The pinnacle of Elan’s touring collection, the Ibex 94 Carbon XLT Ski was designed to let you fly up the skin track with plenty of gas leftover to annihilate the downhill. Constructed with a healthy dose of carbon, you know these planks are going to be light—the Tubelite wood core uses two carbon tubes along the length of the ski to add stability, and the Carbon Power Shell increases torsional rigidity to up the downhill chargeability.
The 94mm waist makes for a solid mid-fat ski that’s manageable in almost any type of conditions. The Mountain Rocker profile enhances float in deep snow, with camber underfoot to keep you stable in variable conditions, and Vapor Tip inserts in the tip and tail reduce swing weight and dampens vibrations when you’re plowing through chunder on your long, arduous descent.
So i found the ski touring winner this. Year this boat is the atlantic’s 84 carbon. Looks really nice it’s really light as well super light but I’m sure that doesn’t affect the performance in a negative way yeah like the look at this ski like to try it out alam slovenian ski maker you. No very traditional ski maker, but they’re doing some really innovative designs these days so I’m looking. Forward to testing this somewhere this winter.
Hi it’s david here from action outdoors. And you cpa uk and I’m joined by megan. And we’ve been testing back country skis. Today and this one you don’t have to be very strong to pick this one up super lightweight ski carbon fiber. Carbon fiber down there the bridge where. It’s at 84 underfoot this is very much. Of a of an uphill ski touring ski and to. Be honest i didn’t expect very much i. Was skiing down and while I’ve come down with a big grin in my face cuz this ski. Was really good we just skied on the. Piste but it was really grippy we made short radius turns long radius turns carving yeah it’s not a piece carving. Ski but we could still carve some turns so that’s super good with a very short. Run in some icy chopped up off-piste and. What was nice was a there wasn’t either. Much vibration often a light ski will vibrate a lot, so we’ve done a good job. At damping, it according to the guys it’s all to do this bridge thing done here it’s got a definite v shape to this ski. And that has a lot to play for the damping megan what did you think so i. Thought these were absolutely fantastic i mean similar to david in the sense of they are so light that i really thought. That coming down quite a hard pack piece that the vibration would be pretty. Pretty consistent but they are really. Really good i was loving my short turns on them I’d say in the carving i didn’t. Get that pink around but it’s not really. What they’re made for but for touring i mean you cannot complain they are so light and i think. They’re fantastic
