Great edge hold and lots of fun in hard, fast turns are what make the Fluid such a fun and high scoring ski.
'It throws you out of the turns,' said our tester (he meant it in a good way, incidentally) and the Fluid allows you to do pretty much everything you want to on piste with - well, fluidity.
It's perhaps not as responsive as it could be in short radius turns and at lower speeds (and it didn't score highly on 'looks and rack appeal'), but who wants to ski slowly on a ski like this; and who looks at their skis when they're hooning down the piste at warp speed?
