Grace Kylie (2013)
Tester's Review
Founder David Liechty named his young brand after his grandmother Grace, whom he describes as "a beautiful, classic, hardworking woman." Those same adjectives accurately describe his Colorado-built skis. The Kylie sports a simple, pretty wood-veneer topsheet and employs a modern but proven freeride design concept: underfoot camber paired with rockered, tapered ends. Testers found the Kylie nimble and easy to smear and pivot through trees, bumps, and broken snow.
PRICE (MSRP): $999.00
