Tester's opinion |
| There’s no
such thing as a difficult start with the Minx. A
low-maintenance all-rounder for fashionconscious women –
fun factor included. |
This ski
reveals its strengths especially on long turns and edge
stability. Bronze medal at the Snow Style Awards, the

Elan Wave Magic Fusion |
Average: 36.4 |
Rating:
Very good |
 |
| Manufacturer's
description |
Tester's opinion |
The Magic
Series has been designed primarily for intermediate to
advanced skiers of a more classical inclination, with a
taste for exclusivity.
Not wanting to exclude those starting out, the Silver
Magic is ideal for beginner and recreational skiers with a
taste for on-slope adventures. The Black Magic is a
versatile ski that performs exceptionally when paired with
skiers of intermediate to advanced ability thanks to its
Reflex Sidecut. The Wave Magic features WaveFlexä and
Lithium technology for high speed carving performance and
durability, while the Speed Magic is a ski aimed at all
on-slope experts – all of whom will love the WaveFlexä
Technology and RST Sidewall construction delivering
unparalleled carving performance. |
He,
or better said she, who likes to perform short turns with
ease would be completely accurate in selecting the Elan
Wave Magic Fusion. Besides, this exceptionally smooth
running model secured 5th place at the Snow Style Awards. |

Voelkl Agua |

Rating:
Very good |

description |
Tester's opinion |
| Sun, wind, air
and water - VÖLKL have also used innovative technology in
the other elements of the new ATTIVA family. SOL, VIENTO,
AIRE and AGUA have a brand new combination of Power Grip
ski construction and 3Motion ski bindings. The new Power
Grip construction that's interrupted in the binding area
allows the contact between the ski boot and the edge to
become even more direct. The fully integrated 3Motion
binding system is embedded directly above the edges in the
Power Grip construction, over four contact points. It
creates a rounded ski flex in the sensitive binding area
that has never been achieved before. VÖLKL has fitted the
models with a new, active ADS dampening system for a
smoother skiing experience. The Full Sensor Wood Core
gives SOL a compact and energy-packed touch, while VIENTO,
AIRE and AUGUA have more relaxed dynamics and sporty, but
not too aggressive characteristics. With these balanced
qualities they are best suited to sporty pleasure skiers. |
The
Völkl did not disappoint, resonating soundly with almost
all of our testers. The model received particularly high
scores on long turns and edge stability. |

| A smooth, easy
turner that is always there for a woman as her ability
improves. A heroine ski for women who want a smooth glide,
agile feel and excellent edge grip. |
Indeed, a cool
