Providing a more forgiving flex profile without compromising their aggressive character, the TrueBlend core makes this ski smoother than ever. Quicker edge to edge, a tighter turn radius, and the same affinity for letting loose as its 88mm-waisted brethren, the Brahma 82 is ideal for East Coast skiers or Western skiers who spend almost all of their time on the frontside of the mountain. With a bit of tip rocker, the narrower waist is still happy to bounce through pow staches and speed through slushy bump runs. Love the sound of the Brahma 88, but prefer something a bit more frontside-oriented? Take this puppy out for a rip.
