Nordica also joins the group of houses that have delivered their ski Neveitalia testers, who found themselves back in Cervinia at the close of the season the Plateau Rosa. Here's how the tests went.

Despite the weather conditions in recent days, the glacier has shown in great shape and for the last summer season exit. In fact, it snowed Friday night on the glacier and therefore Sunday (day of the test) was then a small layer of snow and the temperature barely reached the top 5 in touching the Zero , and Cervinia around the country was freezing.
The snow remained always very good, up to about 13, when in the lowest parts of < strong> Rosa Plateau is starting to see some patches of soft snow. The favorable weather

helped us in testing, Nordica has in fact brought two models Dobermann GS R FIS , with a EDT one without, both equipped with this new square tip, which allows you to attack the snow better.
The FIS is a GS ski or almost exclusively dedicated to competitions but in the measures short (176 and 182cm) can also be enjoyed outside the poles, provided you have enough free hard ground and ice.
It is between these two models that emerged skiing favorite for this round of testing, and precisely without GS R 176cm EDT .
EDT plate is a composite that is hooked on skiing to make it more stable in torsion, but thanks to the method of attachment (not glued but screwed in so that you can move a few inches) can follow the curvature of the ski at the moment of pressure, not stiffen too.
However, in free field is seemed much more enjoyable 176 without reinforcement, and it was understood. ll-range structure in accordance with FIS and toughest yet make precise 182cm between the posts and brisk, but not provide the quantum leap in free field. On balance, without the GS R 176cm EDT met everyone, both athletes and skiers quieter, thanks to the stability and maneuverability in any case within the reach of many.


technology EDT (already several years in plants of Nordica ski boots) has been extended to other models of skis.
And here you must specify the first critical to the range Nordica models with too many poorly understood abbreviations until you have read the catalog, which will surely confound those who located on the ski rastrelliere.Al tests were in fact brought the Dobermann GS R with and without EDT Dobermann Pro GS , the range Spitfire consists of Dobermann Spitfire EDT XBI CT, Dobermann Spitfire PRO XBI CT and Dobermann Spitfire XBI CT and finally an all-round

74 Fire Arrow .

In the range Spitfire But you can guess that the Spitfire EDT and is characterized by plate EDT takes her place in the top range racecarver of the Italian, the Spitfire Pro is the racecarver for all but the Spitfires XBI is a racecarver softened and lightened, to meet the evolving skiers or curves with less range.
Within this range the most appreciated was the Spitfire EDT because even though in some tough predicaments, and slightly difficult, offers sensations of the top range of other houses, all proud being a product made in Italy . Parochialism aside it can be seen in all the arcs stability is almost like a giant model, however, resulting in very good (for the category) in tight corners and comfort priceless. In all situations because you can not handle skiing comfortably, thanks to the lightning edge grip: the ideal ski for days on skis.

not yet digested the whole is graphic innovation models Nordica , designed to appeal to younger people (with a good response in the market) but did many turn up their noses, especially those who were accustomed to the cleaning of the Italian style. Noteworthy , however, is the production of some models in double staining Spitfire : N feature is realized both in a more normal pink to red.

to close the range of the six best-selling ski there is the Nordic Fire Arrow 74 , a ski for expert skiers ranked the house but it can be chosen by a wide audience. In this case, the graphics and shape are those from freeskiing , with a slightly wider ski center of medium range, in this case we are about 74mm. Skiing does not stand out in the holding or conducting precision, but these are the strings to its bow. The comfort and ease reverse and edging are the requirements that usually ask these skis, and in this case the Fire Arrow responds in a positive way.
