If you don’t own a mountain with 3,000 nearly vertical feet, you might want to consider another ski.  The Nordica Dobermann GSR EVO EDT isn’t even warm at 30mph, and 60mph feels like idling speed. You can point it out of the fall line, but don’t think for a nanosecond that it wants to stay […]

If you don’t own a mountain with 3,000 nearly vertical feet, you might want to consider another ski.  The Nordica Dobermann GSR EVO EDT isn’t even warm at 30mph, and 60mph feels like idling speed.

You can point it out of the fall line, but don’t think for a nanosecond that it wants to stay there. Never did a 19.5m turn radius feel more like a mathematical possibility and less like a ski that actually changed direction. “It insists on the fall line,” as the Dude so aptly put it.  Bear in mind, we wouldn’t be underlining this limitation if the GSR didn’t have a sparkling flip side: you feel nothing but the wind into which all caution has been thrown.

You could be hammering over a rutted dirt road at highway speeds and the EDT array of carbon reinforcements on the GSR wouldn’t let you feel a ripple.  This ski looks like a weapon and skis like a rocket.
