A scaled down version of the NGP, the Ninthward THA 187 is still a burly, solid choice for big mountain resort skiing. The waist width suggests that this is for powder only, but Snowbird-ites will insist a ski like this is more of an all mountain cruiser. Uh, don't listen to them. This ski was made to float on top of the softer snow at any speed, but really performs best above average speeds. It does sport a twin tip, which for a ski of this size, is more functional in reducing the running length as to skiing backwards.
