For fast skiing, and not much else, turn to the Nordica Dobermann GS WC Department skis with bindings. This is a race-ready setup that wants to go fast, and really needs to go fast. Anything under manageable speed, and these things are going to be bears to turn. Expert skiers and racers only need apply for this fantastic killer deal. Brought right from the race room in Nordica’s World Cup department, these skis and bindings are built to handle the most aggressive giant slalom skiing on the planet. Built with a high-density wood core and two full-sheets of titanal, these skis are heavy and ready to rip. That metal really does a fantastic job at making the skis stable at any speed, and the wood core is stiff and responsive. Due to the competitive nature of the skis, they aren’t really listing specs, but for the year, they’re World Cup ready, so the narrowest possible FIS waist width is sure to be found. These skis in the 188 generate a 30-meter turn radius, which is ideal for any competitive giant slalom skiing. The race plate jacks you up off the snow and allows you to create more extreme edge angles to really dig those sidewalls deep into the snow. Or ice—usually ice. When paired with bindings, this makes for a race-ready setup for all the most serious ski racers on the planet. If you’re looking for pure speed and control, look to the Nordica Dobermann GS WC Department race skis with bindings.
