Fischer Watea 78 Railflex (2009)
The Watea bested other skis in handling tracked-up crud and wiggling through bumps. It performed equally well on hardpack and in soft snow.
Props
Surprisingly floaty in powder.
Gripes
You really have to give 'er to flex this stiff plank.
Tester's Take

PRICE (MSRP): $1025.00
