The Radict is new from Nordica this year. Ample early rise and a generous 127 mm footprint give it great float in powder, while the relatively stiff flex allows it to perform well out of the pow, too. “Gotta be on it, but it rips,” commented one tester, noting the ski’s powerful nature. The ski excels at high speeds, so if you’re timid in the powder, stay away. However, if you charge and big lines are your game, look no further.
