Nordica Speedmachine Mach 3 Xbi (2008)
A lighter and livelier version of Mach 3 Power (below), this Speedmachine excels at knocking off medium-radius turns in soft snow and corduroy.
Props
As stable and well balanced as…a Nordica ski.
Gripes
They were a touch chattery on the early-morning hardpack at Deer Valley. If you ski a lot of ice, think about upgrading to the Power.
Tester's Take
