A Hero-Day powder tool like few others, the Season Forma Skis want the cornice drop, the sweeping turns at Mach speed, and the runout that gaps the bergshrund each and every time you step in. This is a charger ski that demands attention and speed, not some surfy noodle for those just learning to ride the deep stuff, and it rewards the user in kind when they step it up. The Forma has surprisingly strong edgehold and straightline stability - both of which will stand you in good stead when that sheet of ice pops up mid-face or you feel the need to simply pin it and seek smoother terrain - but bring your "A" game and be prepared to use it.
