The absolute trend category in the junior
division – TwinTips are speedily conquering the teenage ski scene.
Leaving the pure race feeling behind these skis are cool, chilled,
hip and at times, acrobatic. TwinTips represent a different, new,
playful way of skiing. It’s all about fun but still these tools
offer a large portion of pure challenge to those who are willing to
engage themselves. In any case they are trendy, these skis that are
curved at the nose and tail and an average skier can conjure up some
pretty hot turns in no time.
At any rate our
test crew – all experienced junior racers – had bags of fun with
these trendy planks. They were sincerely amazed at the all round
skiing qualities of the TwinTips. A hot tip for all kids who like to
be stylish and down with the scene but find neither racing or
snowboarding gives them a real kick. Strap em’ on people, it’s time
to grind those rails!

Fischer is not leader of the youth market for no
reason! They have obviously found the exact blend for fun seeking
teenagers! THE carver amongst the Twin Tips achieved an absolute
victory in the fun park!

Possibly not the super athlete amongst the Twin Tips, although it
did manage to score highly with its magnificently eccentric design.
An unimpeachably stylish grandmaster in its own class!
