The 100EIGHT has a split personality. It’s a carving ski in a fat ski’s body, a soft-snow ski that wants you to ride the edge. In realskiers’ parlance, it leans to the Finesse side of the Finesse/Power divide, with off-piste skiing and drifting to the edge its specialties.
Unlike most fat boys, the 100EIGHT impresses it pilot with its agility and light weight, promoting a sense of heightened response unusual in skis this wide. “A bigger ski feel without being overbearing,” admired Bob from The Boot Doctors. “Easy to manipulate down bumps lines and through the woods. Nice float in set-up soft stuff,” he adds, hitting the 100EIGHT’s strength: maneuverability in all soft snow circumstances.
