Versatile all-mountain touring skis. Favoured by many a ski tourer who looks as if they would rather catch a chair-lift than wash. Perhaps a little unjust but the Vertical is a quintessential touring ski - and that sport does attract some seriously happiness-retarded i.e grumpy looking folk. Certainly in my skiing back-yard the ski tourers smell less attractive than the average marmot, appear to have shaved, whether male or female, with less frequency (than the average marmot) and ski much worse (than the average marmot). Oh and make lots of noise, mostly unfathomable to anything other than....you guessed it, a fellow touring marmot.
But the ski is fine. It is just that some of the people you are likely to encounter when using this ski will drive you to the nearest lift and have you grasping for a pair of Bode Miller's downhill skis.
Think of an abacus, then think of the Blackberry. The average user of ski touring skis in the western Alps seems to be wondering, with all the perplexity of one of Kubric's primates in 2001, what the hell is an abacus!
Alas for those of you who do wash, shave (male or female) and are familiar with an iPod or Blackberry, then the Altitrail Vertical is a very good, well built and versatile touring ski - just don't sport a deer stalker hat and inane grin the next time you ski with a pair.
All the skis in the Alti range are built around
the same philosophy: uphill performance without compromising on
downhill skiability. Recreational and professional skiers alike will
find a product adapted to their level within this range.
The Alti Powder was created in line with this philosophy. As the first
«wide» backcountry ski, it has the best strength to weight ratio on
the market whilst still providing a great grip.
