K2 Impact review 2013
Men's skis 2013 > Men's intermediate Best ski 2013
The Impact got a "Coup de coeur" from the ProSkiLab™ reviewers. It corresponds perfectly to the Intermediate ski criteria, in other words, it adapts to the lowest level but will still be there as the rider improves his or her technique.

The Dynastar Outland 80XT is a bit more technical and performance-oriented than the average model in our ski review. It’s a ski to hone your technique rather than an ‘initiation’ ski. We’d recommend it for intermediate skiers who want to improve their technique and are looking for a very lively, dynamic ski.
The Pursuit 14, whose bindings, like its big brother's, are mounted well forward, has the same strengths and weaknesses, with a little more flex and a little less performance. In the Intermediate category, the lack of versatility and performance in skidded steering loses points for the Pursuit 14 LTD. On the other hand, it's a good ski to begin carving and really enjoyable in carve turns.
The Amphibio WaveFlex 78 is a good ski for beginner to intermediate skiers, is really easy to handle and pleasant to use. Unfortunately, it's not progressive enough to fit into this category.
The G Force Sonic is too demanding and dynamic for the "Intermediate" category. It's a good choice for riders with good technical skills looking for a results-driven carving ski.
