As is often the case with ski equipment that includes the word “Pro” in its name, the X-Pro SW likely will not become a favorite of actual professionals. Nevertheless, the Pro should appeal to nascent technical students, and their teachers, in environments where precision and exploration of technical movement trump energy, speed and aggressiveness.
Because it bows under less pressure, we’d recommend the X-Pro SW to the lighter weight carver. More aggressive skiers who prefer to ski with more speed and energy should gravitate to the X-Race.
