The GT76Ti might sound like a motorcycle (or is it a particularly potent gin cocktail?) and if it was one, then it would be the kind that enjoys the open roads of the Scottish Highlands - twisty, gnarly and sooo much fun to ride.

Whilst they are made for shorter radius, slalom style turns, they aren't afraid to open up and stretch out across wide open pistes, although at higher speeds they do get a little jittery. Edge hold is excellent and as they are fairly easy turning, especially during that split second initiation phase, they would suit a skier looking to improve their carving and take them up a notch.

They don't enjoy any kind of exploration away from their groomed slope comfort zone - like a polar bear holidaying in Dubai, they might like the idea of it, but after a short time they realise it's just not for them. The only exception to this is moguls, where they are well suited to the conditions.

The thing we really liked about this ski is how it could suit a variety of ability levels - purchase them when you're just learning to carve and as you improve, they will stick with you, right up to an advanced level.

The poplar/beech wood core combines with a lightweight full sidewall construction and a topsheet of Titinal for added performance, stability, and torsional resistance. Decent build quality at a price that doesn't feel overstated for the performance it provides.
