I also highly recommend it!
These fat skis are great for tight turns. They have a wide tip but a tight radius. The radius is 13.5m. We recommend trying them out and experiencing their maneuverability for yourself. They come in five sizes, so if you're mainly going for the slopes, choose the shorter size, and if you're also considering powder or freeriding, choose the slightly longer size

The stability and gliding performance are so good you'll think it's an OGASAKA demo model! If you ride it properly, you'll get the same response and performance as a demo model. If you pursue maneuverability, you'll definitely be able to master the ultimate in maneuverability!

SPEED OMEGLASS MASTER SL KONECT|DYNASTAR

◆Official Website:https://rossignol.co.jp/
This is a noteworthy ski from the 2025-2026 season, featuring a redesigned metal construction! Adopting a new mold and a U-shaped arrangement of Omega Technology, it boasts improved ski flex and edge grip! Furthermore, the adoption of HYBRID CORE 2.0 in the core material allows for rigidity to be maintained without the use of fiber materials. While it
was already an easy-to-handle ski ideal for improving your skills, this model for next season is sure to captivate skiers with its tight turns more than ever before. It's also a popular choice among Mt. Peaks staff for its cool design! Even for basic skiing, a stylish design might just boost your motivation and increase the number of runs you ski!

PISTE WORKS 79|DPS

◆Official Website:https://www.dpsskis.com/
This is a ski that backcountry ski enthusiasts should definitely try! This model's characteristics change depending on the length range of the skis, so if you're looking for maneuverability, 160cm or 167cm is perfect. Unlike manufacturers that primarily produce alpine skis, this model has mild torsion, and even with Walk mode boots or grip-soled boots, you won't feel the stiffness of the skis, so I think it's perfect for on-piste training for those who regularly wear fat skis. I highly recommend it

RACETIGER SL|VÖLKL

This board is designed for a 165cm rider with a 12.6m radius for tight maneuverability. Its metal construction and carbon-tipped top provide excellent stability at high speeds. Its underfoot feel is not too stiff, and it responds smoothly to your push, allowing for a swift response. Its light ride is among the tight-turning skis in the mainstream range of skis from various manufacturers, so even average skiers will find it not too hard and enjoy comfortable maneuverability
