Full Description
The Pursuit 16 is a perfect ski for good intermediates and advanced skiers who mainly ski on groomed piste but do like the versatility to try out some shallow softer snow occasionally, and if you’re an aspiring expert this ski will certainly push you on to the next level.
The tip, at 124, is wide enough to engage quickly when tipped over but the short rocker section tames it so that it's easier to control and doesn't become grabby or chattery.
The IPS Diamond construction directs energy just where you want it, onto the edges, for great grip, and the flat tail hold on to the carve right to the end.
A combination of aramide and basalt give strength and flexibility to the ski and the medium camber releases energy quicker the harder you push it to kick you from one turn into the next.

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?
