Not many companies make a narrow, cambered, stiff ski anymore. The Wise is obviously a pipe ski, but it was a ton of fun on jumps. I've never wanted to find ice so badly because this ski had incredible grip.
The Wise is definitely a quiver ski; or if you live somewhere that doesn't get much natural snow and you spend 100% of your time in the park. It is not very versatile, even in the soft groomers it wasn't super comfortable. Very quick edge to edge and very snappy / lively. It sinks like the titanic in any sort of soft snow, but that is expected and it's not what this ski was made for.
This ski would be awesome on rails. Being narrow and having a low swing weight makes it perfect for spinning. The Wise has an exposed wood sidewall which I was told makes the connection of the skier to the snow more solid, but I was not on it long enough to really notice. This particular ski is made in the US, not in the Elan factory in Slovenia.
Pros: excellent grip, light, low swing weight, fast base, quick
