Deviation The Ballistic 2020 Preview

Newschoolers' Quick Review:

The Ballistic is a perfect ski for the individual who needs a one-ski quiver and spends some time in the park and most of their time all over the mountain in harder snow conditions. They’re a bit too stiff and directional to be a pure park ski (unless you only hit big jumps), and a bit tame to be a dedicated big mountain ski, The Ballistic is a great in-between option for the person trying to do it all. It's increasingly rare to find largely cambered, stiff 'twin tip' skis. The few that do still exist tend to be skinny comp skis so the Ballistic hits a market that has largely been forgotten. If you're missing more old school all-mountain skis then these could be right up your street. -Erica

Manufacturer's Description: Designed with freestyle progression in mind, the all-new Ballistic is primed to throw down everywhere from sidecountry lines to side hits to spring park laps. Light enough to spin and wide and damp enough to huck into powder, this model features the most tip and tail rocker of any ski other than our powder-specific Limit. Nearly a true twin, the Ballistic features a tiny bit of taper for stability when charging super-steep lines, but remains predictable while taking off or landing switch. The proprietary tip and tail shape reduces drag and weight, and helps break the snow’s surface tension to prevent submarining on deep landings. And of course, you still get our signature purple heart sidewalls for incredible strength, dampness, and edge grip.
