The Nocta acquired a perfect score in the float and versatility categories. It can be trusted as your go-to ski whether just a couple of inches have fallen or it’s the best pow day of the season. A 122-mm waist, full reverse camber that promotes easy pivoting and maneuverability in soft snow and a lightweight poplar/paulownia wood core yield a ski that moves with style and grace. One tester noted, “it’s very pivot-friendly, crazy easy to turn and smear around,” while another stated, “floats like a dream, has incredible playfulness in fresh snow and crud.” A third tester said defiantly, “I could use this ski every damn day and be so happy.”
