| This is a dedicated carving performance ski that gripped impressively despite the rather soft conditions. Harder snow was not available on test day.
The Fire Arrow 74 skied best with forward pressure like a modern slalom ski. The only odd sensation is that the reinforcing element on the top of the ski is noisy, and clatters when skiing. Fore-aft balance is very nice which allows that rare combination of high performance and skiability. Technical skills are needed to really get the most out of it.
The Bottom Line: Fantastic carver, powerful grip, good balance. |
