Völkl Aurora (2009)
Fast carvers will love this stiff, damp, race-style ski, which performed surprisingly well off-piste too.
Props
A fat shovel keeps the tips up through chunky snow.
Gripes
The skis tossed a few testers into the backseat-you have to work to stay forward.
Tester's Take
"The Aurora makes insane GS turns with lots of pop." -Charlotte Moats
PRICE (MSRP): $1175.00
