The new A106 mixes off piste performance with on piste handling. It has a slightly different shape to the A112 and A99 as the widest point goes further into the tip, allowing the skier to easily vary turn shapes. Aerospace grade pre-preg laminate is used with extra dampening to make a supremely manoeuvrable ski that charges in powder, through crud or on piste and has one of the smoothest rides on the market. Tester\'s comments: Steve (Buying Team) The Wailer A106 hits the freeride sweet spot. effortless handling that packs a punch and it requires little adjustment when going from hard to soft snow.
