Rossignol E82 — Experience 82 Basalt

Rossignol Experience 82 Basalt skis

Experience a full carve across the entire resort. The Experience 82 Basalt ski brings a lightweight build and the predictable edge control of full sidewall construction for all-resort skiing. A paulownia wood core reduces overall weight, while basalt layers absorb vibration for a smooth ride.

The confidence-boosting control of our Drive Tip design works with the sidecut and full sidewall construction for smooth turn initiation and a powerful edge through the entire turn. An 82mm waist balances a quick feel edge to edge with the width to handle varied conditions.

  • Fast engagement, fluid carving: All Trail Sidecut delivers a responsive feel with quick edge engagement and powerful, consistent carving.
  • Confident, vibration-free control: Drive Tip Solution blends directional fibers in the tip with soft dampening material through the forebody to absorb vibration for confidence-boosting control.
  • Lightweight stability: Basalt fibers enhance power and stability while removing vibrations.
  • Lightweight agility: Paulownia wood core reduces ski weight for a balance of weight, power and maneuverability.

Atomic Cloud 9 Arc

Atomic Cloud 9 Arc skis

Now an iconic ski in the women's piste sector, the Cloud 9 Arc is a confidence inspiring, fun and lively ski that is perfect for the good intermediate skier looking to spend most of her time on groomed runs. The ski uses Atomic's step down sidewall to maximise edge grip on the harder slopes and a women's specific v-shape to aid turn initiation.

Atomic Nomad Radon Ti

Atomic Nomad Radon Ti skis

The Nomad Radon Ti comes from the Nomad S series which is aimed at the skier who wants to spend most of their time on the piste. The ski uses ARC technology to ensure a true natural flex underfoot which improves the edge hold of the ski on icy runs. It also has titanium running throughout the core which gives the ski loads of power through the turn and plenty of kick on the way out add this to the step down sidewall and you've got a ski that grips and rips.

Fischer Watea 84

Fischer Watea 84 skis

Although part of the Watea range, the 84 doesn’t come with the same base shaping as the fatter big-mountain version in the Watea range. The 84 is actually very different with a lighter construction and a more conventional shape for all mountain versatility. The 84 feels like a true all-mountain ski, very happy to perform whether it is on or off piste. In deep conditions it has enough float to keep most skiers happy and the shape lays out nice smooth arcs. On piste the ski feels grippy and reactive and most skiers will not feel short-changed by its performance. If you’re looking to ride big faces in deep powder this is probably not the first choice but for all mountain versatility it’s hard to fault.

Fischer Koa

Fischer Koa skis

The Fischer KOA 78 is a great ski for the intermediate to advanced skier who will spend most of her time on the groomers but still venture on to the ungroomed terrain. The all mountain rocker of the KOA 78 gives the ski lots of versatility to float in powder, turn quickly on the groomers and motor through the crud. The sandwich sidewall construction gives you phenomenal edge hold on firm snow and makes the KOA 78 ski of great value to the intermediate.

Nordica Fire Arrow

Nordica Fire Arrow skis

Skis in Nordica's Fire Arrow range are designed to "bring the fun back to the frontside" as the brand says. Fire Arrow skis are fully cambered which tends to promote fast, energetic turn initiation and maximum edge contact throughout the turn. The Nordica Fire Arrow 80 Ti XBI CT features a relatively tight side-cut for quick turns, a turned-up tail for all-mountain versatility and park capability and a binding designed to help you regain balance and maintain edge pressure no matter where your center of mass happens to be.

Nordica Hot Rod

Nordica Hot Rod skis

The Nordica Hot Rod Igniter is a perfect ski for the aggressive intermediate who likes to spend most of their time on the groomers and hard snow. A full sidewall and traditional camber gives the Igniter great edge grip on the ice and firm snow. Made with a full twin V active titanium core this ski has lots of torsional rigidity and a damp and powerful feel which makes it perfect for flying down a steep, firm groomer. The all mountain side-cut and a 76mm waist give the Igniter good capabilities for attacking the hard pack when the snow is not the best while still being quick edge to edge.
