The ski is easy to turn, is light and forgives mistakes easily.

Features:
Full Sensor Wood Core construction consists of the wooden core extending across the width of the ski body and is positioned within the central binding area. The Dual Wood Core delivers extra power under foot and allows easier and lighter flexing at the tip and tail for a smooth, somewhat forgiving performance.
Tip Rocker is a combination of an early rise tip and a classic camber profile in the rest of the ski, which provides easy, smooth turn entry regardless of conditions
Progressive Technology features very slightly raised areas over the edge in the mid-body of the ski, delivering sufficient stability while allowing effortless turn initiation. The soft-flexing tail facilitates drift at the end of turn, especially for beginners and low intermediate skiers

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer
