"At Nordica, we've really embraced the big mountain freeriding niche, especially out west, and our new W 9.1 FF (you guessed right if you think FF is for 'fat-fat') is the ski for the off piste/heli-skiing crowd. With a 105-mm waist, it's definitely a ski for going fast in big mountain terrain. It's the signature ski in our Wave category."
One reviewer wrote - Hard Charging {A} Game Big Mountain skis are the now nearly extinct 190 Nordica W 9.1 FF/ W105.{125-105-115} a stiff damp feeling ski, hands down the most stable ski I have ever been on they will not fold period. They destroy crud better than any modern big mountain ski I have been on. They float and butter/pivot turns in bottomless snow effortlessly. However due to there stiffness and heavy weight they tend to sink in and bottom feed a bit if your not moving fast enough. They are fairly decent on piste providing you like/ know how to work the ski VS expecting easily attained pure carved medium radius and GS turns. They will carve you just need a lot of real estate to do so. {Think Fat super G ski}

Very Good condition
Backside wide ride, with fairly good hard snow manners. More nimble than some other deep snow skis, but still most at home in natural snow.

Manufacturer’s Description:
“The Nordica ski for extreme free riders, specifically made to offer control and progression.”
Ski-Review’s Verdict:
Awesome looking sticks the Nordica Beast 12 TTs, although not quite as impressive as my ill-fated 74s. Looking like NASA inspired prototypes, they shine and glimmer, although they do not feature the 74’s binding mounting plate settings worthy of a place in an aforementioned company’s Shuttle. Overkill perhaps but pleasant to play with none the less. The 12 TT has a more traditional ‘two piece’ mount with nothing in between.
The Nordica Beast 12 TT does however, carry with it the small grooves in the tail and tip giving a water ski effect when in medium depth powder.
Despite a mammoth 92 mm waist and noting special in the shovel the 12 TTs will quite happily arc medium and above turns at relative speed on the groom, tackle reds and above with gusto, provide solid edge grip in both carved and skidded turns. But it really comes alive where it counts; where there is no piste marker in sight. The skis feel heavier underfoot than most I have tried in this category which requires quite a lot of input by the rider to get them to work. Not so great in moguls. Not bad, but not great. Would very much like to comment about performance in the park however I am sure you will respect my decision not to go down that road on this occasion.
