Inspiration for the Slight 83 W comes from the power of all mountain skis and the lightness of backcountry models. An air-channelled paulownia wood core helps soften the flex for easier use and reduces the weight. The eye-catching elliptic Carbon/Aramid sandwich construction uses innovative design and a full wood core to increase structural rigidity and deliver more grip to edges and quicker response. This ski tackles mixed conditions with ease and rips on groomers, all the time flattering and encouraging progression.Tester’s comments: Florrie (Covent Garden) Brilliant! Its construction creates a feeling of rigidity whilst being lightweight, allows you to push it and punch through chop and crud.
