This ski does it all! - Weston Summit Ski

The summit ski has been my daily driver for several years now. I actually own two pair (so not a quiver killer but close...) because one is set up for telemark and the other is set up for alpine touring. I am a skier who wants to spend as much time as possible in the backcountry, but then take that same ski and enjoy resort days with friends, and I find that the Summit can do it all. This ski excels in a variety of conditions, particularly in the backcountry where conditions can vary from chunky to heavy to powder to wind scoured snow. As a smaller skier (5'5", 120) having a ski with an earlier rise in the tip is essential to help me confidently pop up and over the chunky stuff rather than getting pushed around by it. The rocker / camber / rocker profile of the ski allows for a playful and fun ride that holds its own in wide open spaces and shines when terrain gets tight. I find the 105 width to be a sweet spot with a ski like this because it is wide enough to float in even deeper powder, but still narrow enough to get an edge in on hardpack as long as you keep the edges sharp. Construction is solid, the ski is durable, and Weston is always good for beautiful top sheet graphics created in collaboration with artists in support of many worthy causes. (Seriously, check it out - they're doing some great stuff!). Lastly, the weight! The Summit is super light, allowing me to conserve energy on the ascent, but doesn't compromise the downhill performance of the ski. If you're looking for a capable and fun ski that does it all, the Summit is worth a try!
