 At Alice 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. The shape of the ski which is the RC 173 all-ride is based on a P ski with a tip dimension of 121 millimeter, 73 millimeter under the foot and 103 millimeter tail. It's primarily an on P ski with added performance from the construction. The terrain it will suit best will be on P. The ability level is a fairly wide-ranging ability level from anything from intermediate up to advanced skier. They will benefit from the fact that ski will grip and hold and will give added performance through pressure through the turn. This is a new construction from Fisher. It has a material in the tip here called Baphitex. It includes a full titanium sheet 0.5 millimeter thick and you can see it in the tip here the metal runs down the center and then goes out into the middle and runs the full length of the ski. The other major feature in the tip area and the tail area you can see a new material called Baphitex. This is a non-woven material that is lightweight and yet extremely strong. Well the feedback has been very positive. We've been particularly pleased with the feedback from people saying that the ski gives a very punchy and dynamic feel when skied hard and it feels extremely high performance and yet very easy to ski and these are the features you really hope for in this type of ski. I am Matt. I'm from the Liverpool store and I've just been using the Fisher RC1 73. So the thing that I noticed most and so loved to me was that it could really handle a little bit of chop up there as well. So for instance when you're going from harder packs now to a little bit more chopped up it cooks through things really nicely and still quite holds up quite well. It's pretty stable under foot as well. So I definitely recommend this ski for anyone who really wants to progress on hard pieceded snow. Having tested it myself I find that being aggressive with it works really well. So anyone who's looking to develop their ski and further on pieceded would definitely get something out of this ski.
