The F106 uses the same construction and new shaping as the rest of the Foundation series producing a stable, assured but fun feel. The 106 is the obvious option for intermediate and advanced skiers wanting to explore what the whole mountain has to offer. It uses the same surefooted shaping for piste as its 99mm counterpart but, at 106mm underfoot, it has the advantage of being better in soft snow if you want to be more adventurous. Tester\'s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Generous waist and Paddle Tech nose create exceptional float and handling in chop whist remaining easy to use. Bamboo gives a lively poppy feel.
