2006-2007 Ski Reviews
Elan M1111 & Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel

By Gordy Megroz


Dynastar Contact 11 & Dynastar Legend 8000 | Elan Magfire 12 & Elan Speedwave 14 | Elan M1111 & Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel | Nordica Speedmachine Mach 3

Elan M1111
Elan M1111

Elan M1111
Sidecut: 161/121/141
While it may have the best graphics on the market, this huge, heavy powder ski should only be let lose on vast Alaskan faces. Turn radius is relegated to large, and turns are best performed fast. $799; elanskis.com

Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel
Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel

Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel
Sidecut:126/84/112
Jet Fuel is not actually required for these super-fast planks. While our testers found the skis a bit "boardy," most agreed that they plowed through crud like it wasn't even there. $1,255.00 (with bindings); nordicausa.com
