Very pleasant all-run cruisers. If you are an intermediate to advanced skier looking for a classic all-mountain ski that is happy on any colour of run then the Contact 8 is happy to oblige. With a wide tip the '8 swoons into its arcs rather than dives, it is a relaxed ski, easy to ride and without any nasty bites lurking within its soul for when the going gets tough. The Contact 8 is as friendly a piste carver as you could want, if it was canine it would be blonde and hail from that northern Canadian province that spawned the famed four-legged progeny.
Intermediates will enjoy how they can progress rapidly with the Contact 8, the blend of forgiving but sporty flex, a large, carve-orientated side-cut and reasonable platform all amount to a ski that is without fault for its target user. More advanced skiers may want to move up the range somewhat, but if you love cruising blues and reds, perhaps with the odd difficult run thrown in during a week then give the Contact 8 a go.
Citizen Ski rating: 85/100
An excellent cruising carver for the intermediate to advanced skier.
The idea behind this piste performance range
is a simple one: combine the best of design with excellent skiability
to rediscover the pleasure of making the perfect curve on the slopes!
This year, the range is enhanced with two new additions: the Contact
4x4, an authentic all-terrain ski and the Contact Groove! The two
models are equipped with the latest technological innovation,
Autodrive Fluid Ultimate.

control that is more precise than ever.
