Imbued with a knack for shredding off piste, the Megawatt is Black Diamond’s go-to pow slayer. With a 125 mm footprint, a rockered tip and semirockered tail, you’re in for a floaty ride. “Cruise atop the fresh like you’re on a water ski,” said one tester. Now in its third generation, the Megawatt comes complete with ABS sidewalls, providing better performance edge to edge. At the end of the day, the Megawatt is a beefy load. They “ski like a pimped out Cadillac,” said a third individual. Heavy-hitting skiers should take them for a test drive.
