Fat-Ypus I-Rock (2013)
Tester's Review
"Perfect," said one tester. "Fat-ypus has done its homework." That's an especially telling response considering we skied this 126-millimeter fatty on a dust-on-crust day. Unlike many in its size range, this supremely versatile powder ski is perfectly happy and has a talent for carving on groomed snow. And we can vouch for its powder chops too, having previously skied it in the megadeep when its rocker and surface area provided unreal maneuverability and float. We tested the version with rockered tip and tail, but the 186 length also comes in a straight-tail version for chargers who want a directional ski with a more supportive backseat.
PRICE (MSRP): $790.00
