GEAR GUIDE

Salomon Lord
9th February 2010

Best for

Shredding at chilled-out speeds

Why?
Easy in pow and at low speeds, the Lords are soft enough to be compliant in bumps.

They have a little bit of reverse camber at the tips but not so much as to adversely affect on-piste competence. They have a cap construction and the cap is sharply angled for precise grip.

They score joint top for all terrain/snow versatility, and perform well in long turns, low speed, straight-line stability, and powder. But in short turns, they lack bite.

Manufacturer recommends:
50% on piste / 50% off piste
