Intro
In terms of weight and size it sits above the Mentis and below the Orb. The bright-blue ski from the Chamonix-based brand is light but not overly so for traditional alpinists, overlapping slightly with its aforementioned siblings in terms of use, from fitness touring to backcountry. In terms of size and versatility it feels like a contender for a one-ski quiver. Last updated two years ago, it's softer and even more user friendly, slightly wider at the tip and tail, it traces nice wide turns, flexing and molding to the terrain; it's noticeably more docile than its predecessor. A playful evergreen with no real negatives, for a range of uses.
