An excellent and versatile option for an advanced skier looking for a go-anywhere ski, the Outland 80 performs well in long-radius turns and higher speeds on piste but floats well in shallow powder too.

Great for :

versatile and fun in most conditions

Not so great for :

there are better options as a pure piste ski

Target ability level :

For red and black runs or a bit of close-in off piste, the Outland 80 is a versatile option.

All mountain rocker construction uses a short, progressive rocker section at the tip and an even shorter one at the tail to provide a compromise between hard and soft snow characteristics.

At 80 mils, the waist is wide enough for a stable platform and flotation in the soft stuff but still narrow enough to move quickly from edge to edge on hard snow.

The tail is quite stiff which means it holds the edge well right through the turn for precision control, though a lower level skier might find it hard to get out of a carve an into a skid if they get into trouble.

A fun, lively ski in most conditions, the Outland 80 powers through variable snow.
