Intro
The La Machine family includes five lightweight models with a decidedly modern shape that wouldn't make you think of these as touring skis. In actually fact, these are truly cutting-edge skis, with the 109 tested sitting at mid-point in the range for new-school freeride skimo. With tip and tail rocker, it has the ideal profile for freestyle backcountry and all those younger skiers who put on the skins just so they can find fun descents down slopes that aren't too steep but are packed with natural features. Its light weight is great for combining a range of styles.
