Nordica Fire Arrow 80 Pro XBI CT (2012)
Tester's Review
Quickness and snappy rebound are Nordica hallmarks across categories, nowhere more excitingly manifest than in the Firearrow, which was No. 1 in both criteria. Of course, nothing promotes rebound like traditional camber. And Nordica throws in a radical sidecut. So it's a carving machine, great for seeing how far out you dare to throw them, knowing that fat tip will slingshot them back underneath you and into the next thrilling carve. "Bright and lively; nimble and easy," said Gleason. "Makes skied-up terrain a playground."
