It was 2013 since we last tested the Majesty Superior and we gave it the thumbs up that time around.

Since then, there's been further developments in ski technology and new models, especially in the freeride area, launching that include lighter, stronger materials and enhanced design elements.

But what we found this time around is that the Superior still has the kind of qualities that a 'Big Mountain' skier often looks for - strength, power, stability and of course width under foot.

They are the kind of ski that you'll be pleased about buying when you see a huge field of chopped up, cruddy, snow. They hack that down as easy as sniping parsley with a sharp pair of scissors whilst lesser skis would make it feel like cutting down a forest with a toothbrush.

Although firmly suited to expert skiers (who else is going to ski off-piste on steep, big mountain faces?), the Superior's can handle a lighter weight male skier who has decent technique whilst at the same time, a larger guy would be very comfortable handling them.

The tip and tail rocker is fairly prominent but means that you can ski a longer length - the 186 proved fun to ski for one of our testers who is 170cm's in height and there's a 194 available too. The full wood core contains two types of wood (Poplar and Ash) and provides torsional stiffness as you'd expect.

A great ski for those big powder days when something smaller just won't cut the mustard, or indeed the 3 meters of Alaskan pow that they have written on their wish list.
