Excels in soft and deep snow, eats up end of season slush like it wasn’t there and not bad at all for anything but very hard piste conditions as well, the Trust is a joy in most conditions.

Great for :

Amazing in soft snow of all sorts, from powder to slush

Not so great for :

Hard work if you’re light

Target ability level :

With a low, early rise rocker tip, traditional camber underfoot and a relatively flat and very square tail is a great freeride ski with added versatility.

The rocker tip and wide profile give great flotation in soft snow. The more shaped profile – 4mm narrower at the waist than the Crew – means better carving performance and faster edge to edge movements. And the flat, square tail gives great grip for what is essentially an off piste ski on harder snow conditions and groomed piste (though don’t expect miracles).

The sidecut radius at 21 metres for the 186 version isn’t too long for more general use and with a bit of technique and power combined with the sidecut profile you’ll be able to bend it tighter for shorter turns too.

A tester’s favourite in the right conditions.
