What Meier says about the Quickdraw
“This all-mountain ski is also a frontside carving beast and our best seller! The Quickdraw features a wide shovel and a narrow waist for quick and effortless edge-to-edge turns. The wide shovel helps the tip float through powder and crush crud while giving the skier a smooth, easy-turning ride. It’s so nimble some call it ‘telepathic’, but the beetle-kill pine, maple and aspen custom wood core remains stable at high speeds.”
