I tested the 175cm model, and its shorter length combined with its somewhat narrow midsection did not handle the off-trail runs as decisively as I’d hoped. It uses Marker’s Piston Control Oil Suspension system, which the company says allows the binding to better suck up vibrations that may cause you to lose an edge.īut for all its control on the trail, I was not impressed with the ski’s handling in deep snow and crud.
The Marker Motion binding system adds to the ski’s overall solid feel.
