"STEEP SKIBOOK". We asked users at a new model test ride event. We introduce user impressions that couldn't be fully covered in the magazine. This
is a brand created by freeskiing legend Candide Thovex. Candide's innovative skiing and philosophy are embodied in the diverse lineup that symbolizes the evolution of freeskiing. This season's must-have skis are reviewed by ordinary skiers with their honest opinions.
Review of "BC 111"
While its bigger brother, the AK 121, offers aggressive big mountain skiing, and its younger brother, the RESORT 101, is perfect for agile and popping skiing on slopes and in the park, the BC 111 excels in its versatility and versatility for all-mountain skiing. It's a versatile model that's great for both off-piste and on-piste skiing in less-than-ideal conditions
its width, it was surprisingly responsive
and easy to turn. However, because it's a twin-tip with rocker that starts early, it felt a bit unstable on groomed snow.

"RESORT 101" review
This is the perfect board for agile maneuvering around the park or slopes. The three radii are significantly smaller than the CANDIDE AK121 and BC11, which allows for quick turn initiation, a grippy feel, and good tail release. It's a tougher board than its RESORT name suggests
It's quick to react and makes transitioning into the next turn
easy. Its carving performance is better than its appearance and rider image suggest. It's quick to react, and perhaps because of the camber, once you switch directions, it automatically enters the next turn.
