[The Powertrack 84 review is based on combined 2015 and 2016 test results; the ski remains unchanged.]

The Powertrack 84 isn’t aiming at the already accomplished skier who has been there, done that, but instead seeks to provide succor for those still climbing the skills ladder. As a game improvement product, the Powertrack 84 is spot on. It bows readily into a round arc in the low speed range and holds its own at moderate speed as long as the snow surface is forgiving. Its supple flex follows terrain well, so first-time mogul skiers will find the challenging condition less menacing.

Because it comes around so easily under gentle pressure, it’s a hero ski on the groom where it’s great fun to grow on. Also available with the SPX 12 binding for $800 (MSRP).
