One tester said if they were to buy one ski for next season, this would be it. Another said it was “friendly and easy to handle.” New this year, the Rocker² 115, a hybrid twin-rocker powder ski has an early rise tip with a flatter tail than the Rocker² 122. It features a full woodcore, twin rocker and edge-free ends with super light honeycomb construction for minimal swing weight, making it an ideal tool for powder landings. Pair these planks with the Salomon Guardian 16 backcountry binding and Quest Max 120 for a primo backcountry kit.
