The Yvette A100 is a very special ski that feels unique. Alchemist construction uses aerospace grade carbon to keep it impressively light and provide precise handling and a smooth ride. The dimensions mean its obviously comfortable in deep snow but the shape ensures it is happy railing turns on piste. The taper and rocker at the nose and tail produce a short effective edge, creating a 15m radius. Its a different approach to other brands but works brilliantly, delivering comfortable pivots and slides as well as great float in powder and clean carves on hard snow. This is a high-performance ski that makes skiing easier.Testers comments: Justyna (Milton Keynes) effortless in softer snow, with flowing turns and nice stability; short powerful turns come easily on firmer conditions. Impressive just how versatile it is.
