Black Diamond AMPerage (2013)
Tester's Review
If there's such thing as a smeary carve, this ski can make it. The AMPerage would almost drift into each turn before the edges would hook up and complete the arc. It took a little practice, but the turn shape proved incredibly useful and easy to manage in chundery and treed terrain. Testers struggled a bit on hardpack but enjoyed the flowy ride everywhere else.
