In order to capitalize on every opportunity for soft turns, we click into the Blizzard Hustle 11 Ski. This ski is built for confident turns in the backcountry and comfortable walking on the skin track, in that order. Sure the lightweight poplar and paulownia stringers in the core will make the uphill a breeze, but the Carbon DRT laminate and beefy beech stringer create a damp and powerful ride on the way down. Toss in a stable and maneuverable sidecut and we have our new go-to hard-charging backcountry skis. Blizzard Hustle 11 Skis | 180 | Christy Sports
