Good for Big Mountain
It’s a fat ski in a race ski’s body. With no camber at all (either traditional or reverse), a wood-and-metal laminate construction to quiet the ride, and vertical sidewalls for enhanced edge penetration, the Girish likes to flat-out wail downhill. “The stability makes them easy to ski,” said one tester, “and you can pull them into shorter-radius turns on command.” Yes, there’s a small weight penalty for all that metal and wood, but the extra mass—and the 110 millimeters underfoot—also translates to serious crud-bashing power. 139/110/129;
