Nordica Astral 78 2018 Ski Review

Part of Nordica’s brand new Astral line, the Nordica Astral 78 is an absolute gem of a ski that will make a lot of people very happy this season.

This ski is very versatile and will really work wonders for your confidence and skiing ability. This ski allows you to progress with it, offering support and security whilst giving you a little push to be the best you can. It’s a great all-in-one ski that will be a real benefit to many skiers.

This ski is light and very easy to turn, making short turns a doddle.

On piste, it is a lot of fun, very enjoyable to ride edge to edge, with fantastic grip even on hard pack and ice. The unique Hex Bridge construction reduces weight but allows for great edge grip and stability, even at the highest of speeds, allowing you to really enjoy the ski! The Astral 78 will definitely be a hit with advanced skiers who enjoy to push themselves on the piste and are experienced doing so.

However, with its slightly longer tip shape, the Nordica Astral 78 also skis softer snow with ease. It is at home in powder and does well over bumps and through trees, with quick repsonsiveness.

Whether fresh snow is chopped up on the piste or off piste, this ski easily plays over the top of it with a lot of fun.

The Nordica Astral 78 is a surprising ski that will give you a feel good confidence boost wherever you ski. For recreational skiers, this is a great next step for those looking to develop their skills. If you have conquered the piste and are looking for a new adventure, why not give this ski a go! To add to the benefits, it’s one of the best looking skis we’ve seen in a while and has a very reasonable price tag to boot!
