The Vicik’s waist width makes it a great everyday ski for hard-charging freeriders. Bamboo and carbon are wrapped in tri-axial fiberglass, creating a torsionally rigid ski that you can count on for stability. It’s a directional ski with a dual directional sidecut; a shorter turn radius in the tip eases turn initiation and gives way to a longer turn radius that runs throughout the powerful tail. “What an incredible do-it-all ski!” exclaimed one of our testers. “Great just about everywhere, from arching trenches on the groomers to slashing pow turns.”
