The Elan Wingman 82 CTI FX Skis with EMX 12 Bindings is a great set up for skiers looking for a front side carving, while still being able to ski natural terrain as well. With more versatility than one might expect, the 82 CTi is a great bump ski and not a bad tree ski, just so long as there’s not a ton of fresh snow. But, the carving and turning ability of the Wingman 82 sets it apart from its competition. There's a ton to love about these skis, and they want to turn, and turn fast. Thanks to a 14.3meter turn radius at the 172-centimeter length, these skis are built to be on edge. The TruLine technology exists in order to put a majority of the material in the ski on the inside edges of the ski. As such, there's a right and left-specific ski. The performance is outstanding, with that inside edge reacting strongly to the additional materials, while the uphill edge remains floaty and tracks alongside the downhill ski with an almost freaky level of accuracy. Best suited to the front side and the groomers, the Wingman 82 CTI has a sheet of metal that really makes the ski sing. It does require a bit of a balance point, as the skis are pretty stiff. But they're not heavy, so a huge number of skiers will find it accessible and fun to ski. The Elan Wingman 82 CTI FX Skis with EMX 12 Bindings is an advanced skiers dream who likes to leave trenches in their wake while being able to ski a variety of natural terrain as well.
