Endorsed by one tester as “the best single ski for your quiver,” the Salomon Twenty-Twelve lives up to the hype. Utilizing both tip and tail early rise, the Twenty-Twelve makes for easy pivoting, smearing and maneuvering in any condition. Salomon’s Pulse Pad technology—an elastomer layer along the edge—reduces chatter at high speeds, a common lament in skis with rocker technology. Thick fiber-reinforced edges and a full wood core make the Twenty-Twelve a durable, long lasting and playful go-to ski.
