The Omeglass Pro provides further proof that the modern race slalom is a more versatile and tractable talent than its one-dimensional cousin (in this case, the Course Pro) from the giant slalom branch of the family. It still oozes race-ready aptitude, but the Omeglass isn’t dependent on endless slingshot turns as its only means of motion.  Naturally it requires speed to motivate it – they’re called race skis for a reason – but once you run some energy through it, the Omeglass Pro will cut into New Hampshire granite.

If you’re heading off-piste, the Omeglass would just as soon you went with someone else.  This ski isn’t meant to float or, God forbid, smear its way downhill. It’s a tool for the talented, all gassed up and ready to rip short turns from sunrise ‘til Taps.
