Elan M999 Wood (2008)
The M999’s 31-meter turn radius is the second-largest in the test—a big reason it was so stable arcing at high speeds.
Props
Forgiving, soft-flexing, responsive at speed.
Gripes
Felt soft torsionally and lacked edge grip compared with other skis in the category.
Tester's Take
"A rocket that plows through powder and crud with conviction." —Kelly Holland
PRICE (MSRP): $1000.00
