Apache Coomba (2008)
The Coomba aptly honors its namesake. Doug Coombs was the acknowledged master of steep lines, but finesse, not power, was his hallmark. He favored a light, maneuverable ski, and the Coomba would have made him proud, testers surmised. It's metal-free-nice when you're hiking for turns, but also for easygoing playfulness and a maneuverability in tight spots that belies its width. It's gutsy, and will push back when you push it, but it works well with a lighter touch and at slower speeds, too. "Very floaty, but still stable and fun to carve," said Woods.
