They say

Carve out another best day on the Famous 8, the women’s on trail ski for expert to advanced frontside skiers. Featuring our Prop tip technology for an ultra light swing weight and Power Turn profile.

We say

The 8 is in the middle of the ‘Famous’ range and is aimed at working well with all abilities. This really comes through in its performance, it feels so grounded to the snow, it gives out a smooth ride and always has consistent, predictable edge grip. Stability is always there through a full range of speed and turn shapes. In essence it feels like an extension of you as a skier, with amazing, detailed feedback coming back from the ski, while always giving a grippy, solid performance. It’s another ski that really skis well above expectations and is hard to fault.

Tester Comments

Great all round ski, easy to use which is stable at all speeds and easy to initiate the turn

Could ski on them all day long! Effortless to ski, while being zappy and fun
