Every girls favorite all mountain/powder ski, the Shima returns for more first tracks and last lifts. Camber underfoot and 5 point sidecut for grip whatever the speed or slope.
The Shima felt like it felt at its best in longer turns, it’s got a strong construction which really comes across in its overall performance where it feels solid in longer, faster arcs. Tightening the radius feels a bit more of a struggle, and they often felt catchy underfoot, but we may have had a tuning issue on the test pair we tried. In deep snow it floats pretty well, and the shape and profile look nicely geared up for backcountry use. Overall, a cool looking ski that’s best suited to long turns in all conditions.
