The basis for this overview is once again the "WorldSkitest". Testing took place in late winter in Heiligenblut, with active and former top athletes, international journalists and ambitious amateur skiers in the shadow of the Großglockner mountain.
The wider versions of the all-round models are ideal for transitioning from groomed slopes to choppy powder, onto ice, and perhaps a short powder run. These high-quality models combine everything you'd expect from a ski, both on and off-piste. Underfoot, the models typically range in width from 82 to 88 mm.
