Full Description
Primarily a freestyle ski but unlike some others the Mosquito is pretty hot all over the mountain rather than limited just to the park.
The tip and tail are wide for a 94 mil waist giving a very short sidecut radius – only 13 metres for the 172, though the softer flex and torsion the Mosquito needs as a freestyle ski means this is certainly not a ski for piste carving on hard snow.
Works well in shallow powder, especially for a lighter skier, though the tight sidecut radius can give the Mosquito the tendency to hook a little. On the other hand, it makes them brilliant for popping a jump anywhere you feel like it!
A perfect ski for fun all over the mountain.

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?
