This is less of a review and
This is less of a review and more of a question. What is the turning radius on the G3 Zest?
G3 doesn't offer turning
G3 doesn't offer turning radius statistics as we don't use a simple arc when we design a ski side cut. This makes it impossible to offer accurate sidecut radii. G3's unique sidecuts have a curve that continuously changes in radius along the length of the ski. We could give you an approximate radius, but this value would not accurately position the arc on the ski and would not tell you how and where it merges to a tip and tail transition.Thus, giving you a sidecut radius or turning radius alone is relatively meaningless.
Many other factors like width, torsional rigidity, flex distribution, snow conditions, skier ability, and weight also contribute to how a ski performs and feels.
hello i am looking for a ski
hello
i am looking for a ski that handles long tours and is great to ski down with as well.
I am an aggressive skier and a guide and need a ski that is good to up and great to go down.
realistically how is the zest by long tours....
and how would it compare with the lucious...
i like that the zest comes in a 172 length...and the lucious is 165?
thanks very much for you help
jess
In terms of long tours, the
In terms of long tours, the Zest is fairly light weight for a fat ski, and compared to the Luscious it has early tip rise.
Just got a pair of these
Just got a pair of these babies and set them up with Black Diamond 01 bindings - for such a wide ski they do amazingly well on hard pack. Can really lay into my turns on these (as compared to my atomics which are way stiffer) . I think I'm in love ... or something like it. thx bunches!
Cool graphics on the
Cool graphics on the Zenoxide, cooler yet on the Tonics,but the Zest? Downright hideous. I really want to get these for the wife but do not know if I can get by the bird dropping look.
