What Coalition Snow says about the Lil’ Nasty
“Limited Edition & Small Batch
If the SOS and Rafiki had a love child, this would be their first-born. We took the playfulness and shorter turning radius of the Rafiki along with the hard-charging stability of the SOS and blended them into a nimble and fun mid-fat all mountain ski. Coming in a 94-mm underfoot, the Lil’ Nasty fills the gap in our quiver and yours too.
INTRODUCING THE LIL' NASTY
We spent three years designing, testing, and refining the Lil' Nasty, the newest ski in our lineup. We wanted to hit the sweet spot of a mid-fat ski that would perform in all conditions, in all terrain. And we nailed it.
SHE'S A HANDFUL
The Lil' Nasty is extra, in all the good ways: extra nimble, extra fast, and extra FUN. This ski is all about doing what you want, when you want to, and on your own terms.”
