Tip: 126   Waist: 95   Tail: 114

Pros: All mountain ripper; excels in all conditions; The Kilowatt is a friendly fat ski with generous sidecut.

Cons: A little wide for fall line bump skiers.

Comments: Slow or fast this ski turns on command.

Additional Review Provided by Skiing Magazine: The Kilowatt has all the flex of an oak stump, sticks to groomers, and doesn’t get nervous at speed. In powder it’s smooth and predictable.

Props:

Good performance in crud and on groomers for such a narrow big-mountain ski. And the firm tail pops you out of turns.

Gripes:

A bit stiff for slow turns and too narrow for waist-deep days.

Testers' Take:

"If you want something light and easy to turn—despite its stiffness—this is your ski." —Matt Ross
