The brilliant S/Max 8 is the choice for piste skiers who want maximum performance with impressive ease of use. Race department influenced shaping and a user-friendly construction means this is the perfect choice for improving piste skiers. Edge Amplifier helps maintain grip throughout the turn by transferring maximum power to the edge and just the right amount of rocker allows turn initiation to be effortless for fluid linked carves on groomed snow. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Pistes are the home, forget about anything else. Cruising blues and reds or building up some speed and riding the edge all the way through a turn. Black runs are fine too, though they won't be attacked so hard. Skier Type Intermediate to advanced skiers looking for precision and energy in a package that also allows some forgiveness. The S/Max 8 is for piste enthusiasts who want to rack up mile after mile of turns on groomed snow. Carving is be the aim but the construction also allows for easy turn release to facilitate sliding or skidding. Overview Shape 73mm in the waist and a 15m radius (170cm) means this ski likes to turn and switch edges quickly whilst having enough width to feel nice and solid when the snow roughs up. It keeps the widest sections far into the tip and tail for a long effective edge and better grip. The tip has enough of a smooth transition so that it is predictable in to turns; the width on the blunt tail holds on right through a carve if you want that feeling of grip. Rocker No rocker on this ski, it's full camber for full grip and maxium response Core A poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness and forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact. A single layer of Titanal reinforcement on top of the core improves the edge grip, energy transmission and response. Construction Semi Sandwich Sidewall is the best of both. The cap at the tip and tails reduces the swing weight, adds durability and assists with starting and completing turns due to its forgiveness. The sidewall underfoot improves the precision and the grip on firmer snow. Key Features Edge Amplifier SL This is a built-up area through the centre of the ski around the binding, visually obvious, you can sense how it will affect the ski. The redesigned, SL specific 2-piece Edge Amplifier provides 30% more grip while maintaining the right amount of flex underfoot for increased reactivity, agility and grip. EB tester's comments: Steve (Buying Team) I love this ski for just how effortless it makes carving on piste. It will boost skills and confidence as it feels like a performance ski without any of the hassle of being over stiff or unwieldy. Linking smooth, clean carved turns at speed on red runs has never been easier.

Ellis Brigham was born in 1933, the brainchild of Frederick Ellis Brigham, who set up business making cycling shoes and walking boots in a tiny 'two up, two down' building on the outskirts of Manchester.
After the war, as mountain walking and climbing became more and more popular, the shop began to sell ex-WD climbing equipment and Brigham's boots with their special nailing patterns became very sought after.
Fast forward almost 80 years and Ellis Brigham now has 24 shops across the UK and a leading website, making it the UK's premier retailer for ski hardware, mountaineering equipment and outdoor clothing.
