Intro

Among the Corsa models, this is the most ski-mountaineering-specific offering if chosen in the 45 cm length, while the longer versions are also good for summer glacier travel. It features a lightweight pick and a fairly minimal adze for cutting the occasional step. The shaft is slightly curved and pick penetration is better than many other light models. Designed for ski touring with a light pack, its excellent value for money makes it worthy of consideration.
