Intro
Unchanged since last season, apart from one not insignificant detail—the binding mount has been set back from the forward position chosen in 2022–23. The 60 in the name denotes the more malleable construction compared to its sibling, the 70, and, with this construction that debuted two seasons ago, it has become a very balanced ski, and well-distributed throughout the waist. It's great for many skiers, especially those who like a stiffer ski, but that doesn't make it boring. It doesn't require the same sensitivity and balance of its predecessor.
On the snow
With the bindings now in a position that has become more standard, it's a more intuitive ski that doesn't require the adjustments that were needed last year with the more forward position. An excellent ski for open-mountain racing, it provides support and stability with its solid base for confident handling. It comes into its own in tight spaces by widening turns. When you hit the accelerator, it tends to lose the tail a bit and sideslip. (Many will like this, but demanding skiers may see this as a con.) It's very balanced when sliding down the slope and on the ascent. Its setup has been designed for switchbacks, for following the terrain, and for enhancing skin use. And on the downside? It suffers in chop a bit more than certain competitors, but it's not a major concern. Compared to the 70, it offers a bit less support, but we feel it's more than adequate for most skiers.
Lab
Slightly concave at tip and tail, the rest is flat or slightly convex in a few spots. Linear fish-scale pattern at the waist, not much wax. Decent edges 1.4 x 1.1 mm at 89°, base edge 0.5-0.75°. Edge completely removed at tip and tail. Could be taken out as is.
