When someone descends a daring run with particular aplomb, we say the skier slayed it; when that someone is aboard a Shreditor 112, he kills it with kindness.  That’s because the Shreditor 112 is an amiable, agile, surfy and surprisingly agile companion for a day of ripping up a big mountain that’s been over-served with a fresh coat of nature’s frosting.

The Shreditor 112 didn’t earn our Recommended laurel by possessing electric reactions but with its “chill out, dude!” equanimity.  It will change direction on a dime and it doesn’t really care how you do it, so skiers with an ambiguous skill set can get away with tossing their Shreditors around with impunity.

A true twin-tip in that it will travel with relative ease in reverse, the Shreditor 112 is a gas even if you are, poor thing, merely a directional skier. While it takes a lot of talent to ski powder while looking over one’s shoulder, it takes almost no prior powder experience to develop proficiency promptly with the Shreditor 112 as your tutor.
