The highly agile RTM 77 has a light full rocker profile & is especially notable for the exceptionally simple way it carries momentum throughout the entire turn. Ride the Mountain ski constructions are harmonized to different ability levels, skiers ranging from beginner to pros can all find their perfect counterpart. The RTM 77 model has a moderate full rocker, which makes it unbelievably agile on & off the slopes. The RTM nevertheless deliver extreme control, even at higher speed ranges. 4 Motion binding is yet another example of creating the perfect setup for each target group. It was developed for the mid-range skis in the RTM series. The rails are set farther apart for optimum power transmission. The Triple Pivot Compact toe is shared by Marker’s well-known Squire binding, & is combined with either a Twin Cam heel or Comfort heel. The RTM 77 follows a similar construction philosophy, although the reinforcement is somewhat less pronounced, giving the ski a softer feel. Optimized for ambitious intermediates, the ski’s construction provides the edge pressure needed to rise up to the next level of speed & confidence. As the name suggests, The Dual Wood Core consists of parallel strips of wood surrounded by PU. Featured in the XTD Progressive construction, it is layered with extra glass sheets top & bottom for added ski rebound. Ski

For the skier who skis 1-3 weeks of the year, wanting to progress at their own pace, & needing a ski that will ski in all conditions, its spot-on. Only those craving powder will find it coming up a little short. For infrequent excursions with that light full rocker it is excellent though, & far more interactive & supportive than a traditional piste ski. I would happily have this ski in my personal collection, It feels so easy to turn, almost effortless thanks to the rocker, & eats up choppier sections of snow (Anyone who has skied the 3 Valleys think Meribel at 3pm on a sunny day!) I also like the fact that although it has a steel laminate, it is not as heavy as some of its competitors at this price point, thanks to the 3D construction giving it control without extra weight, & the lighter binding thank found on its bigger brother the RTM 80. If you are mainly a piste skier, & are progressing from an older set of piste skis or early carvers, this is a PERFECT ski to move to, as you get some rocker without feeling you have to transform your skiing style, & will find the smoother feed into & out of the turns a revelation! Is this for me? An ideal ski for the confident intermediate skier wanting to progress through to a more advanced skier wanting an easy to work ski in all conditions, that inspires confidence whatever your level. If you are on a set of fairly old piste skis and
