Billed as the widest and most powerful ski in Nordica’s GT series, the 84 TI EVO skis like a muscled up race car with a bigger chassis. It excels at top speeds, with great edge hold and stability, and prefers to plow through any off-piste obstacles, rather than floating through over them. The dual metal torsion bridge makes it easy to access this ski’s power, especially when you’re maching down the frontside on a boilerplate day.

Slow down a little bit and this ski is increasingly hard to manage. It feels sluggish in short turns, unfocused when it’s not on edge, and can feel a little heavy at the end of the day. This is really a racer’s idea of an all mountain ski, with power and edge hold to spare.
