For the deep snow this is a great ski. But less so in other terrain. If off piste ripping is your thing, and you are a strong skier, then the M7 is for you. I struggling to handle it on the piste and in tricker terrain that wasn’t powder. More powerful skiers had a better time, and this tracks with previous years – this is a stiff, powerful ski to ski which gives no turns off, which if you can do it will give you a great time.
