Overall
Overall this is a quality all-mountain ski. There are other skis that I would recommend if you were looking for a specific powder or park ride, but if you want one to kill 'em all, then this is right up your alley.
The turning pattern of the ski is on the straight side of things, and they're certainly stiff, so expect this to be more of a charging ski than something to be making tight turns.
It can certainly be frightening to purchase a pair of skis from a brand new company, but Boone has managed an offering that shows they've got the chops to succeed in the ski manufacturing world.
Performance
The Magic Sticks really do perform
best when ridden in their natural environment. They’re a little bit on the
stiff side but definitely make up for it with their bamboo core. These are poppy and light enough that they will dance when you need to shred the park, but stable enough to hit the high speeds.
Design
Being a relatively new ski company, I didn’t really know
what to expect from Boone, but I certainly was pleasently surprised. Ever since I’ve had the Magic Sticks I keep getting
complements on how colourful the base graphics are. :)
Durability
So far so good! The top sheet has some cosmetic chipping, but nothing too serious. Edges have held in, and no problems to speak of.
