Men's All-Mountain front ski reviews 2014
They're designed for good to excellent riders looking for a highly efficient ski for the groomers (at times performing better than some traditional piste skis), while able to go off-piste when the conditions are right. They're well-adapted to freeride, but less effective than the wider skis from the “All-mountain back” category, especially in deep powder and crud snow.
Scott The Ski review 2014
Men's skis 2014 > All-Mountain front Best ski 2014
We initially felt that the name, "The Ski" was somewhat pretentious, and we were eager for the opportunity to put this new model from Scott through its paces. And what a surprise! The ski was nothing short of impressive and truly dominated the other contenders in its category. Performing very well both on- and off-piste, it is a true multi-purpose ski, successfully combining effectiveness, versatility, ease-of-handling... Read on
As a ski that is geared more towards off-piste conditions, the Cham 87 will appeal to good freeride skiers who are looking for a ski that is playful and easy-to-handle in powder, but which also performs reasonably well on the slopes.
Given its shape and its background, the Experience is obviously an on-piste ski... and remains an on-piste ski. Although it ranks less well in this category, where it is competing with more versatile models, it is still a good ski for those looking for an on-piste ski that has a great feel underfoot in carving manoeuvres, and can handle the occasional incursion off the groomed slopes.
Designed with a titanium plate at the front for extra rigidity, the Brahma is an "athletic" and demanding ski. A 70% on-piste and 30% powder ski for fit skiers with a good technical skill set.
