 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 this is an all-mountain, it's an all-mountain ski. It's all-mountain rocker so it's you know 10% rocker in the tip, 86 underfoot. It's a progressive all-mountain ski so it's designed for the advanced skier. It features a full titanium sheet, tip to tail, power wood core and a world cup base finish. So the main technical feature in this ski is the pro light construction which you can see here when I turn the ski around. You've got these windows in the tip and the tail that reduce the swingway of the ski without compromising the edge hold of the ski. You'll notice that this has got a power wood core in it so it's designed for hard snow conditions but also for side and off-piece conditions as well with the all-mountain rocker. Target skier is the advanced all-mountain skier who's looking for a ski for hard packed snow conditions in the morning but then it's going to be great fun in the variable snow in the afternoon as well because it's got the all-mountain rocker and the wider tip and tail. Feedback is probably for the more powerful bigger guys. This has been a really popular ski. It's very playful and sporty underfoot. For the lighter weight guys it's probably a little bit too burly so it's really a it's a bigger more powerful skier's choice and we've had really good test feedback on it. Hi I'm Simon from the Fort William Store. I've been skiing the Vantage 86 Ti this morning in fresh snow and freshly groomed tracks and yeah I've been really enjoying it. The 86 for me is the kind of perfect balance of that in between spending a good amount of time you know off the side of the piste and a good amount of time on piste. It's probably to that point it's the 50-50. It's encouraging and it kind of builds you up into having good fun. When you when you are going to push it harder it does you know keep up with you it's not like it it goes soft and that you really struggle. It's yeah it encourages you to kind of have fun work a bit harder go a bit faster but actually even if you do back off and you know you just kind of your legs are burnt out and you just want to get down the hill it doesn't feel like it's hard work. For me what I really enjoyed about this is the carvability of something as wide and as capable. It feels like a piece ski in many senses but can do so much more.
