Why We Like The Tempo Ski
Skin tracks and steep chutes demand slightly different skis for the highest performance, but some skis like the La Sportiva Tempo Ski strike a delicate balance between the two. We particularly like the blend of a lightweight paulownia wood core and full sidewall construction. This keeps us fresh on the uphill while helping us hold an edge on the way downhill when the conditions are less than ideal.
