The ski that started the Torsion Bow revolution is still arcing hard turns. The asymmetric construction of the Crossbow directs power to the inside edge of the ski, holding at any speed. As you crank turns, the Torsion Bow increases the ski’s torsional rigidity and stability. This means you can ski harder and faster with rising confidence. Quicker and more versatile than the Havoc yet wider and more powerful than the Ethic, this is the turning machine to accommodate aggressive skiers with big boots.

Materials:
C-Matrix construction, 3-D
Densolite core, Electra-sintered graphite base, Dura-Edge carbide steel edges
Asymmetric construction for powerful edging control
Precision turns at any speed, on any terrain
Powerful and agile
Supports big boots and powerful skiers

Voted 5/5

I love this ski. As a mid-fat, it performs really well in a wide variety of snow situations. I ski the 187 because I'm a bigger guy, and it holds edge on all kinds of stuff.

"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast ... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotised by desk calculators. I promise you this; you will outlive the bastards."   --Edward Abbey
