These planks have got soul, and they’re super bad…in a good way, of course. Testers raved about the ski’s versatility, with comments like “fun to carve, very responsive, great in bumps, groomers, trees,” from Maddie Jimerson, and “so much fun and really can do everything,” from Scott Kramer. Tip and tail rocker help it plane above soft snow and maneuver like a boss, while camber underfoot lends to its carving prowess. Twin strips of carbon on either edge keep the Soul Rider strong like bull but without any of that added beef. Scott Kramer advised, “All ski brands, take notice, Nordica’s comin’ for ya!”
