 At Ellis Brigham we take ski testing really seriously and this involves two different ski tests. The first one is done early in the season. Everything's put through its paces and compared we make the decisions what we're going to stock. Later on in the season we bring staff out to Austria. Here the staff test all the skis that we've decided to go in the range. This means we can make sure we've made all the correct decisions but it also means that when you come into any of our stores the staff there can give you personal advice. They know exactly how the ski skis because they've been on them. Okay so you're right the name has been around a while but this is a new ski so a new construction it's 79mm foot and 12.2 meter radius so that makes it really lightly an adjoin. It still uses graphene so we infuse that tip and tail again reducing swing weight making it easier to maneuver the ski but the big difference with this over the previous absolute joys is that this now has a wood core in it whereas previously it was synthetic so essentially you're getting a little bit more beef from the ski but for the same money. So essentially the kind of person that's going to be skiing this would would be an intermediate but with the addition of that wood core now you can probably extend it up into a fairly advanced sort of skiing so still has that wide performance off the low. Yeah generally feedback the comments relating to this are it's a forgiving ski but it has got enough guts in it if you like that you can push on a little bit so for someone that's wanting to improve their skiing there's there's plenty of mileage that they'll get from that so yeah just a nice all-round sort of easygoing ski. I'm Kat from Castleford I'm a ski tech and I've just been out on the head absolute joy and it honestly is an absolute joy it's such an easy ski. I went out with not much confidence and came back feeling like a pro skier like started doing a little bit of carving in there even on the little icy patches it held really well and made me feel really confident in my skiing. I found this ski held really well whether doing short turns or big turns it felt like it just glided across the snow really nicely even on the steeper runs I still felt in control and that the ski was just a part of me really.
