The Massif boasts the biggest waistline of the new Uptrack Series, but don’t pigeonhole it as a powder- only ski—our testers gave it a perfect 10 in the versatility category. The 118 mm waist width (123 mm at 189 cm) coupled with rockered tips and tails provide for mighty pleasurable powder skiing experiences, obviously, and a combination of mid-weight poplar and lightweight paulownia in the core keep the ski nimble without any loss of stability outside of soft snow. Neoprene synthetic rubber in the tips helps to decrease chatter for a smooth ride, too. Of its ability to quickly adapt to any situation on the mountain, one tester noted, “You’ll be surfing the powder, then come to an unexpectedly icy patch and have no problem turning on a dime and maneuvering to safety.”
