Insider tip: Head to the side of the trail and dip into the trees to get the most out of this latest usage of the Legend name.Who is it not for?Lovers of a high-G carve, PSIA instructors looking for a ski for their next-level exam.Who is it for? Old schoolers who steer from the tail, swishing down the piste, and who also want a friendly tool off the piste.The problem is that the Legend competes in the heart of the all-mountain segment, where plenty of skis do a very wide range of tasks, very well. The Legend is very competent off-piste, quick and encouraging, a good bump ski. It has a tip that is seemingly disinterested in initiating patience is needed for enough pressure to build up to get the sidecut involved, and when it finally happens, there is little joie de vivre, or feedback.

That’s the point of these newfangled parabolic skis, right? On the front side, the Legend X84 displayed a frustrating reluctance to turn. Insider tip: Lighter skiers may enjoy these more than their portlier brethren.įairToMiddlin: You can probably tell that I put a lot of value in how a modern ski displays a willingness to turn.Who is it not for? Heavier skiers looking to rip groomers.Its tip, rocker, and flex (or softness) don’t help raise the carving fun-meter: I found it slow and bland from turn to turn, but a lighter or more finesse skier may have a different view. Drahtguy Kevin: The Legend X84's sweet spot is off-piste, especially in moguls.
