The Vantage 75 C is fun & energetic with surprisingly good edge hold & response. Carbon Tank Mesh provides support & strength; the Cap Sidewall perfectly balances the need for grip & forgiveness in tricky conditions. It shines on piste but thanks to the tip rocker & design inspiration coming from wider skis, it also feels very comfortable in soft snow down the sides of marked runs. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It is primarily piste, but the construction & the shape do mean that the ski is forgiving & smooth enough to tackle some more varied terrain off the sides of the piste. Blues & reds are its natural home, but it can still venture onto black runs, it just won't be gripping carved turns down these steeper or harder slopes. Skier Type Novice & intermediate skiers who want a piste ski that is about stability as much as it is performance or response. The Light Woodcore & the lack of metal in the construction ensure it is not demanding to ski, meaning it doesn't punish balance errors & is easy to get in & out of the turn. The Carbon Tank Mesh makes sure it isn't flappy either. It's a great first ski to really hone technique & feel totally comfortable on as you explore more of the mountain. Overview Shape 75mm in the waist is really in the piste
Dimensions category, but thanks to the Prolite construction & profile borrowed from the wider skis in the Vantage range it is happy in softer snow too. The contact points are only set back a little in the tip & tail, this helps with forgiveness when the snow is softer or trickier without affecting the hard snow performance. Rocker All Mountain Rocker uses 10/90 split of tip rocker to camber. The relatively small amount of rocker helps with turn initiation & control in unpisted & soft conditions, without affecting the camber which provides the grip & response on firmer snow. Core Atomic's Light Woodcore uses poplar to optimise the skis weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability. Construction Cap Sidewall uses a full sidewall underfoot for controlled power transmission & great edge grip. The tips & tails use a cap construction to increase durability & make turn initiation & release simpler. Key Features Prolite Prolite is all about keeping the weight down without affecting the performance, achieved by using exactly the right amount of material in the right places & removing it where it isn't needed. This creates interesting profiles such as the milled-out areas through the centre of the ski that save weight but use tougher materials so strength isn't compromised & the built-up areas along the edges that transmit power so effectively. Carbon Tank Mesh A Layer of super rigid, woven mesh increases strength across the ski without adding weight or too much torsional rigidity.energy Backbone An ultra-light insert that runs the length of the ski like a backbone, this provides exceptional agility without extra weight.e B tester’s comments: Simon (Fort William) I was skiing mainly on a cruisy blue with a varied mixture of fresh snow & ice. These were so easy to ski that I felt confident to tackle any of the conditions coming my way.
