Our Big Mountain Ski of the Year. We Brits are finally looking at sticking something mad into the bag to make sure no powder is left unslashed. What we like about the S7 is its use of camber underfoot and rocker at the tips to make a big ski work and a controlled flex to keep it together as the speed goes up. It changes shape dependng on length - Big Mountain riders will opt for the 195 with straighter sidecut and a 120mm waist, and the shorter lengths get the 110mm waist and harder-turning shape. We tested both shapes and it was the big guy that impressed most, simply because it still feels so chuckable.
