Men's Easy Cruisers ski reviews 2016


In this category, we select skis that can help weaker riders to make technical progress. We look for skis that are extremely tolerant of errors of balance, are consistent and reassuring when having a beginner's stance, ensure easy turn initiation, smooth skid turns and snowplough, while helping riders to progress towards slice turns or even carving at intermediary speeds.

These skis are ideal for intermediate riders who have mastered skid turns and want to make more technical progress toward carving turns.

A good ski, Elan’s Amphibio 78 Ti is simply not accessible or tolerant enough for this category.
The ProSkiLab™ reviewers were especially disappointed with the lack of intuition at initiation and the somewhat difficult skid turns due to the ski’s stiffness, especially in the tail.
It would have scored better in the "Men’s High-end" category where its big brother, the Amphibio... Read on
