 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 with super shaped magnum it's 72mm under foot. It's got a 13.1 meter radius so that makes it pretty lively. It lends itself to be in a p-ski more than anything so there's a little bit of rocker on it which we indicate here. So that little bit of rocker gives you your easier turn initiation. So obviously as a brand we're now using a lot of graphene in our skis and our skis so that reduces weight but also increases power. So in the magnum we put the graphene under foot and that acts a bit like an internal plate so it beefs the ski up under foot giving you a better edge grip and then in the tail of the ski we've got our curse technology which gives you a boost coming out of the turt. It's a ski that's been around for ages so we're used to getting good comments about it. General references they make up to its stability and solid edge grip but still quite easy to access the power that's in that ski. So I've just done a run on the head super shaped magnum. It's a bit of a timeless ski this one but every time I get on it I forget just how good it is. I started off at the top doing some shorter turns not skiing too fast it's nice it's lively it's pretty quick and then a little bit more speed into the ski and you can feel the power skiing it on the flatter bit nice and stable I didn't feel any trouble getting onto the steeper bit then I can really let the ski go a bit more. Short turns medium turns it's got quite a short radius but it's still happy in a longer turn you can do that the snow's choppy out there it's not great but I still felt like I wasn't getting smashed around it's got enough power that it'll get through the harder snow. Yeah big smiles when you ski this ski and I think maybe people underrate it a little bit because it's been around so long but there's a good reason it's been around so long you ski it you love it that's exactly how I felt when I was on it I forgot how good it was
