CoreUPT Slasher (2012)

New pro-model from Richard Permin, the Slasher is based on the shape of the Born to Drop ski but with a slightly narrower waist. Lively and efficient yet extremely forgiving, the Slasher is capable of bringing powder to the masses, whilst remaining a worthy ride for strong skiers. Those who push it will appreciate the quality of its landings and its reactivity at high speed, not to mention the excellent floatability provided by the rocker. Great fun to jump around with and carving a good line, the Slasher is also reliable in the park, where it proves easy to manoeuvre with a respectable pop. Ideal for skiers who value aerial ability as highly as powder capability.
