A new off-piste charger from Movement, the Crew is a great option for aggressive, high-speed use in the steep and the deep.

Great for :

High speeds, deep and soft snow. Good in end of season sludge as well.

Not so great for :

It’s a long, fat, and has a big rocker so don’t even think about it for hard pistes!

Target ability level :

New from Movement for 2014, the Crew is twin tipped, double rocker, 112 underfoot – perfect for steep pitches and deep, light snow.

Rubber edge inserts provide great shock absorption for unexpected terrain variations and landings. The VA-Tech vibration dampening system in the nose is a rubber layer to smooth the ride and dampen the vibrations which would otherwise be expected from the extra-wide 141 mm tip.

The Crew’s partial cap construction combined with the poplar wood code make this a lovely, light ski while carbon and fibreglass reinforcements provide plenty of strength as well as more pop and liveliness than you’d expect from a “big fat”.

Superb for long turns in soft snow at high speeds. Less good for short turns, hard snow or slow speeds.
