Whether you call it an all mountain ski with a pronounced hard snow preference, or a wide intermediate piste ski which gives plenty of stability and confidence, the Experience 74 is a great ski.

Great for :

a good intermediate all round option

Not so great for :

As intermediate skis go, does pretty much everything it’s supposed to

Target ability level :

Ideal for improving intermediate skiers, the Experience 74 performs very well in most turn styles, so it will take you from the early skidded parallels on to developing proper carved turns.

The snub-nose engages quickly in the turn, but the tip rocker section stops the ski becoming grabby and catchy when skied flat – a common complaint of intermediate skiers.

The full camber helps drive the ski into the snow for strong edge grip and precise control.

The tail is rounded and slightly rockered so it will release you from the end of the turn rather than locking you in right to the end, giving you the option of a bit of tail skid when you need it.

At 74 underfoot, the Experience is wide enough to give a beginner confidence and stability as they increase their speed, yet narrow enough to be reasonably quick edge to edge as you start to improve.
