The Mata defines a newish, hybrid sub-category of skis: free-carving. They blend a slalom ski radius and a carving ski construction with an all-mountain width and feel. The unique design leads to a unique look. Exhibit A: The Mata is asymmetric with a shifted shovel profile, a dramatic sidecut and a notched tail. “It will turn heads in the lift line,” noted Mark Lassan. Construction is all about smooth and stable: a full poplar core, Titanal strips and a rubber layer. The unique shape and construction required a learning period for most testers, but once dialled in, the consensus was that the Mata is a super-responsive ski that can handle full-throttle groomers and doesn’t mind a romp through the bumps. Not an everyday driver, not a groomer-day specialist, but for those who like to play with their turns, a fun option to add to the quiver.
