Ex UK Ski Test Demo Ski
This is an ex demo ski from the UK ski test, it has done just a few runs at the test, on snow, so is in near perfect condition, with minoor marks that you would expect of a ski having been taken up a bubble and chairlift and skied down. It comes with a full warranty, and is waxed and polished before shipping or collection.
Skiing is about one thing above all else: fun. And the Yumi 80 is a fantastic option for anybody looking for a ski which makes it easy to initiate turns and provides effortless power transfer.
Its multi-layer wood core and full sidewall give it its performance, while its 3D.Glass construction makes it forgiving.
A 3D radius sidecut makes this ski surprisingly adept at different kinds of curves. It’s agile on tight corners and remains composed and stable on big, wide turns.
The Yumi 80 is all about fun AND performance, on the piste and off it – the latter especially if the snow is soft and irresistible.
