Nordica: Men's Girish Flat Skis

With a 110-mm. width, there is nothing minimal about the big-mountain powder shape of Nordica's new Girish ski. Nordica designed their Girish to give freeriders a surfing sensation in deep powder. It's certainly not the ski you want for setting speed records on hardpack (there will be chatter) but if you're paying big bucks for a dream helitour, few skis will treat you better in deep, untracked terrain. The Girish features a lightweight wood core reinforced with two-ply titanium laminates. This model comes flat and you'll need to choose binding to match the Girish, but make sure you pick a binding with a wide ski brake bar that fits a 110-mm. waist. One other important note: In previous skiing magazine reviews, the feedback on some of Nordica's ski performances varied depending on which ski lengths the testers and editors tested, so keep length in mind and match the appropriate sized Girish to your skiing preferences. In case you need specific data, we included the turn radius data for all sizes because of the significant differences in characteristics.
