Full Description
Inspired by Atomic’s full-on D2 race skis, the Redster Edge GS is a high end turning machine, holding on to the edge right throughout the turn for grim death while just a tad softer than the Doubledeck version and therefore great for lighter skiers, girls or the less-advanced as well as the real experts.
Piste Rocker in the tip only makes the front end of the ski more controllable and turn initiation smoother. A full woodcore coupled with Shockzilla sidewall inserts ensures effective shock absorbtion for strong ski-snow contact and grip while 2 layers of titanium give great strength and stability for immediate reactions.
The camber is strong and the tail is stiff so this is a ski that has plenty of pop and rebound and that kicks you out of one turn and into the next.

TOP TIP
Ski Servicing
Watch out for shops that cut corners – and costs – by hardly ever servicing their skis, or just giving them a quick wax. Unserviced or badly serviced skis can ruin your whole week. Why pay for substandard kit?
