Forgiving is not a word usually attached to a carving ski, but the Fischer The Curv GT 80 earns it. An 80 mm waist and an accessible flex deliver responsive turn initiation and solid edge hold without the physical demands of a full race ski, keeping transitions smooth run after run. Skiers who love clean arcs on groomers but would rather not work that hard for them will get along with it well. [boot PKG overview]
