A good skier can lay the Bell to Bell over and get good carving ability but at some point, that skier will find a speed limit. On snow this ski is supremely maneuverable in short and medium radius turns. These two factors make the Bell to Belle more adaptable to lower edge angles and primarily skidded turns that are typical of many mid level skiers. However, the B2B is built on a narrower platform at 78mm underfoot and it has a softer overall flex. The Bell to Belle shares similar construction to many of the other Belle series in that it uses a double wide, lightweight stringer down the center of the wood core. An intermediate with a desire to learn the ropes of all mountain skiing could choose this ski as long as she is reasonably aggressive. The Hells Belles has a bit of a hard snow bias and is best suited for a skier with some skills and experience. At 90mm underfoot this is a great place to start the discussion for an all mountain-all conditions ski for a good skier. The light weight and nimble feel make this ski very quick in the bumps but the fairly stiff flex can toss you if you find the back seat too often. In broken and mixed snow with any depth, this ski tends to power through rather than lift over the top but once the snow gets deep enough, the wide rockered tip will give the skier adequate floatation for snow up to the boot top or a little more. The grip is right at the top of the category and the firm tail will give the better skier a solid platform to launch herself from one turn to the next. Last year, during my testing of women’s skis, I found this to be one of the more solid feeling skis in this width range. Out on snow, the Hells Belles has always dazzled out testers. The result is a lighter ski with a somewhat softer flex making this well suited for the woman skier that is typically, lighter than her male counterparts. While the ski shares the shape of the Steadfast, the build is different in that is uses two lightweight core stringers that run the full length of the otherwise solid wood core. This is the women’s specific version of the popular Steadfast model and like the Steadfast, this has been one of the category leaders for some time now. Need help picking? Our very own Sierra Jim reviews each ski in the new Nordica blem batch below: So don’t wait and miss out on the best deal around. If you’ve been around for one of our blemish ski sales before, you know they go fast.
If you don’t know the drill, the Start Haus gets Nordica’s cosmetically blemished skis each year to sell at crazy low prices, which in our opinion is the best deal going in the industry.Ī blemished ski has a small cosmetic defect – like a dimple or scratch in the top sheet, that does not affect performance, still caries a normal warranty, and in most cases isn’t even noticeable! The big batch of Nordica blemished skis arrived early this year!
