THE VERDICT

If you’re a playful skier—someone who loves jibbing, jumping, and rocketing off natural and manmade features—and you’re looking for a powder ski, this lively and floatable ski would be a good choice for you.

FULL REVIEW

The Pandora is especially good at one thing: It soars in deep snow. But take it onto hardpack and you’ll be in for a shock. It doesn’t have the muscle for laying down turns on groomers or steeps. But it was short and turny for navigating through soft snow in the trees.

Float
An early rise tip and tail make it extra enjoyable in deep snow. This is a fun-loving powder skier’s tool of choice.

Versatility
This ski is a bit of a one-trick pony. You’ll probably want two skis in your quiver: One for everyday skiing and the Pandora for those three-foot dumps.

Length
The Pandora comes in lengths of 162 and 172. It would have been nice to have one longer length: For hard-charging ladies, the 172 is going to feel short.
