Black Diamond Megawatt Skis 2009: Don’t show up at the powder show with a wheel barrow and a carafe of lemonade. If you want to take on serious back country powder, then you’re going to need the right skis. Enter the Black Diamond Megawatt Skis for 2009. With an ultra-fat waist (125/120 mm underfoot for 188/178 cm), long rocker tip and zero camber, these white monsters will float you in the waist-deep powder pancakes. Powder is where this ski excels best, but the Megawatt will surprise even the most hardcore skier with its nimble ability to plow through the tracked-out crud, eat up spring corn and stomp the big landings. Built with a traditional underfoot sidecut, Formula One Technology™ with 3D dampening and a CNC-machined solid wood core wrapped in Torsion Box construction, the Black Diamond Megawatt will change the way you think about skiing and the nature of life itself.
