The individuals who purchase a pair of the 2017-18 Masterblaster will enjoy sh#t-eating-grin-inducing, rip-roaring performance. A directional shape, low tail, sidewall construction, rigid maple wood core and a strip of Titanal bring about top-notch torsional rigidity and power. “Easy to push your speed and feel confident with it,” said one tester. Another noted, “Wants to go so fast and is crazy stable… holds up like a boss on edge.” Thanks to rockered tips and multi-dimensional radii, the ski also provides playful performance when called upon. “Maneuverable in all situations,” confirms one tester. “Super fun and ‘shreddable,’ it launched some fun-sized cliffs into sludge and it mashed through crud like a snow plow.”
