Elan Zeal (2012)
Tester's Review
The Zeal is a smooth-turning all-mountain ski that's most at home on the groomed-snow end of the frontside spectrum. Testers found it stiff and capable of carving rippingly fun long turns. Though it shuddered a bit in crud, all testers remarked on its ample edge contact and said they could feel the snow from tip to tail. A great Eastern choice.
