If your old skis are considered “furniture grade” it’s time to get in on the fun with a game-changing upgrade. Testers termed the BBR “playful,” zippy,” and “fun.” The Salomon BBR 8.9 (aka The Bieb) is the brand’s latest innovation from A-list ski designer,Bertrand Krafft (father of the X Scream Series and Pocket Rocket). The ski has a patented V-shape with and over-sized tip, narrow waist, and “pin” tail. The turning radius is short (12.5 for the 176 cm version), so the ski is nimble on the groomers and holds carved turns well. Built-in rocker and the pontoon-shaped tip provide great float in powder and pop in the terrain park. Our testers loved the smooth ride and quick adaptation to terrain and snow conditions, from all-mountain steeps to the terrain park.
Comes in 166, 176, and 186 lengths. Sidecut is 147/88/110 for the 176 cm length.
