The Automatic is the result of a collaboration between pro skiers Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and Dana Flahr (great names for pro skiers) and its lightness of feel comes from a traditional wood core which is then beefed up, but not weighed down, by the insertion of titanium strips directly into the top of the core. An all-rounder in the powder, definitely, but not too shabby in the crud either, owing to dampening under foot, or when asked to get you back to the lift. This ski is stable and responsive at a number of speeds and turn shapes and will smear effortlessly when asked. Yet it is playful, which you might expect, but also beautifully balanced underfoot which encourages you to be bold about where you stick it. The Automatic is without question a big mountain ski in every sense of the word as it will happily eat up terrain faster than your lungs, muscles and balls will allow. With a significant tip and tail rocker, in the tradition of a Rossi S7, and traditional camber underfoot you just can’t wait to get into the light and fluffy stuff.
