The Skilogik Rock Star possesses the smallest meter-radius sidecut measurement in the category, meaning if it were a narrower ski it would cut a tidy little arc.

But the Rock Star isn’t a little ski and short turns don’t mean as much to it as the glamor of the spotlight as it torches the fall line. It doesn’t have an especially pronounced shape in the forebody, which is heavily rockered and paddle-shaped to help absorb landings in powder, but its tail is nearly as wide as the tip, an unusual shape in any genre and unknown elsewhere in the Powder universe.

Overall, the Rock Star doesn’t demand highly proficient skiing to be appreciated, as its high score for scrub-ability attests.  The capacity to smear while maintaining its orientation in the fall line is what makes the Rock Star one of the top Powder Power Picks.

We’d be remiss not to mention that the Rock Star provides Skilogik’s artist-in-residence, Mariella, with a huge canvas on which to create her interesting and arresting art.  In a world of ho-hum cosmetics, the Rock Star steals the show for creativity and craftsmanship.
