Men's Giant slalom ski reviews 2013


In this category, we select the best 'Giant slalom' competition-inspired skis before reviewing them through a comparative methodology.

They are designed for more athletic riders with very good technical and physical prowess, who love fast, grippy skis for powerful long turns.
