As we had the opportunity to explain in the last article, this year the tests were a little different and conditioned by the ongoing epidemic, to read all the news, the composition of the test team and the test mode, there we refer to the article published here.
But enough of the chatter ... which are the best giant skis of next season?
We may seem repetitive but it was not so obvious: after eight years of honorable career, with some small tweaks in terms of structure and plate / binding set-up, the Rossignol Hero Master is completely renewed. created a type of ski there were all. But the Rossignol technicians have worked hard and with lead feet until they have a balanced, fun and easier to use range.
To put it in the words of Alex Favaro: "I have found the excellent characteristics of the previous model, but it seems that everything is easier, it takes less strength to make it turn and it is less physically tiring", the ski is always stable, simple in handling but more pleasant to set up, it offers safety and stability at high speeds. All this with a more elastic, less rigid, more accessible structure. A new standard for top-of-the-range skis. For all these reasons, the Rossignol Hero Master will also be awarded the medal for best giant ski for the season next year!
Our testers also reward the Dynastar Speed Course Master GS, the sweetened version of the master, equipped with the lightest plate. The ski hits all the premises well, especially in medium curves it manages to express itself at very high levels: in conduction, with fast and precise curves, it makes you always stay attached to the ground, with a truly simpler curve entry and a greater possibility of correction of the 'error. Tested in a "short" size, the 173cm, allows a curve management almost like a slalom carver, making the release at the end of the curve even faster. Among the best results of this French product we find the handling and the excellent performance in the medium curves, which earned him the "Silver Medal" and the mention among the skis "Chosen by the Testers".
Last awarded and recommended for future purchases is the Blizzard Firebird WRC WC which surprised more than one testator for the simplicity with which it managed to combine an apparently light structure with a very homogeneous deformation.The ease of handling of this ski is exciting, the edge grip is excellent, it performs well even in the tightest bends and has a good elastic response at the end of the curve, without throwing the skier. In a word: comfort, and that is why it is awarded by our testers after having tried it at the Stelvio with the "Silver Medal" of the Neveitalia "Tested by the testers" skis. usually to giant skis, and a flexible structure, which manages to be within the reach of many skiers who want to approach the discipline.
