At this price, it's hard to beat the G Force Pro IQ; every aspect ranked highly, with short turns beating long as a tester preference. This is no slalom ski, though, and its ability to draw out turns was picked up. For most piste monsters, it's hard to see anyone wanting more, especially if racking up the miles is in order when you don't want a super-powerful ski that'll exhaust most people.
