Salomon Origins Lava (2012)
Tester's Review
The Lava is a wide-bandwidth ski that will please anyone from day-off race chicks and ripping moms to improvement-focused intermediates. The highly skilled end of its audience will find it nimble and smeary in trees and bumps, and crisp and spunky during groomed-snow carving. For newer skiers, it's a forgiving Jill-of-all that will encourage better technique.
PRICE (MSRP): $500.00
