Nordica Fire Arrow 80 Pro XBI CT (2012)
Tester's Review
Here's a perfect ski for the strong-skilled (ex-racer?) dad who wants to follow (lead?) his young ripper anywhere on the hill, from steep fall-line runs to the park and pipe. Snappy carving is this Firearrow's M.O., but the upturned tail gives it versatility and looseness that other skis of similar carving ability don't have. For a skier who stands on--and likes to trust--his edges all day.
