GRIZZLY WIDE RIDE £750

An extremely popular ski. On the piste the edge hold was effective, and the ski loves to be carved at speed, feeling stable and powerful at all times. Because there's a lot of it, the Grizzly doesn't hide its width as well as some - until you ease off the three-position power dial at the back when it becomes noticeably softer and turns harder. Responsive and smooth underfoot at all power settings, there was really little to fault here. Off piste it was equally effective, floating well in the powder, powerful through the crud, and easy to use. With the power switch technology only increasing the skis versatility more this is a pricey but very useful ski.
