what does anyone know about nordica's beast 92 TT backcountry powder ski? i only ask cuz the nordica rep is making killer offers to staff at the shop where i work and this is my only chance to afford a second pair.

I am not doing the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair

who's your rep up there? the beast ski, well, there's some better skis at lower prices, but ask if you can demo before you buy. most of the nordica reps i know are pretty chill about that.

skied on them for a bit last year.

They Sucked

Really stiff ski
realy hard to drive.

but 179 for the boot and 2 something for the ski is a killer deal.
my rep is offering the same.

i can tell you the beast boot rocks

hope that was some help

Really heavy, heaviest ive seen for a ski. They seem pretty nice though. They would probably be worth gettin at that price if they come as a complete system with bindings. The flex on them seems pretty nice. Very controlled flex, and it really doesnt snap back like lots of other skis. This makes for great shock absortion and control. I recommend a demo on them first if you can

be careful what skis the nordica rep offers you cause i thought the same thing. He said we could order a beast ski for 200 bucks with synergy binding. but it turns out that on the beast 75 was avalible, (its the beast 74 with the red graphic to look like the 92.)

its done like that on purpose the shops get the 75 eben though they say they are 74 or opposite and they have the beast graphic from the 90 something.

thats why it is a special shop deal.

i was told that by the rep from the begginning.

the ski still doesnt like to turn
