Nordica Mach 1 (2009)
Plan on getting good quickly? Or maybe you're an expert in search of a great deal. Either way, testers agreed the Mach 1 has a big upside in performance. Metal-free and lightweight, it's reasonably forgiving and willing to help an intermediate learn to carve. But it really excels at higher speeds with a more aggressive technique, so you're guaranteed not to outgrow it too soon. "A little touchy, but boy is it fun in tight arcs," said Sabanosh.
Best For
High performance at a low price

Total forgiveness of poor technique
