This directional ski lightens the load on your adventures both in and out of resort boundaries; one tester even suggested renaming the brand to, “La Sweet Ski!” The La Sportiva Vapor Nano skis use Carbon Nanotube Composite construction which consists of Prepreg—a highly durable, stiff and lightweight composite material—reinforced with carbon nanotubes. The core is a Kevlar Weave Composite, all- in-all adding up to a torsionally stiff, extremely lightweight ski. Notches in the tip and flat tail allow you to equip these babies with skins and get out into the backcountry with ease and the 103-mm footprint provides enough girth to float above the deep stuff off-piste.
