 The Ski Fels business model is custom skis. They didn’t customize a test ski, obviously, but that didn’t prevent the two models of the multi-purpose Attitude we tested from delivering an engaging and original feel. We tested a 76mm and an 88mm, both with a maple core and fibreglass construction (carbon is also an option). On firm groomers, the 76 wanted to rail. “Needs some skier input to make it work, but gives it all back,” said Justin Garey. The sidecut tapers aggressively near the tip, which made it easy for us to get on edge exceptionally early in the turn. Solid construction allowed us to stay on that edge as the ski encouraged us to commit to the carve for a G-force thrill ride. The wider model was similar on groomers and more forgiving in soft bumps and chopped-up powder, where it was lively and smooth. We didn’t want to give either ski back.

Ryan Stuart has a ski for every possible condition and a jacket to match. Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
