Goode Rahu Ski - Men's: One of Goode's 11 new alpine models, the Rahu skis like a wide-waisted GS ski, yet is versatile and light enough for the backcountry. Tip and tail rocker add flotation, but the unique construction makes the ski "light and responsive," as one tester notes. "It makes great turns in the powder and fits into slalom-spaced trees at 40 mph." A mix of carbon, wood and carbon steel in a torsion box construction means lightweight skis that feel damp and smooth in the turn.
