All Mountain Freeride skis: Like the carving ski above but wider for off trail runs.
- Solomon XWing Fury: [Tested 180cm:/87mm/] - quick turning, stable on fast straight. Wide but still good in moguls. Although wider and longer than the XWing Tornado (sister carving ski), it manages the moguls and chutes as well.
