The Powderball is a forgiving powder ski with relatively soft flex and a large dose of rocker in the tip and tail for effortless flotation. Our testers agreed on its ease of use, one of them saying, “It was easy to ski everywhere I went, including moguls.” Another tester thought the ski was perfect for a resort powder day commenting that it “rips crud and powder, while also working well on groomers.” Further setting this ski apart from others in the category are sidewalls comprised of black locust, a naturally waterproof and rot-resistant hardwood.
