The Bikini is light and breezy, like you’d imagine it would feel to wear a bikini spring skiing. Surprisingly though, testers said it was sturdy despite a soft flex. The tail has some pop for exiting turns, which testers called “responsive.” Early rise tips keep the Bikini afloat and reduce hooking should you come across soft snow. Take note: Even our more petite testers reported that the 159 was “too short,” so consider stepping up to the 167 length.
