One word describes these skis; "Durable". I've been training, racing and touring on Trab skis for several years now and continue to be very impressed. At 6'3", 175lbs I have a strong tendency to break skis/bindings/boots (and mountain bike frames.... oh yeah, that's next month.). I've skied my Trab's in all conditions and they continue to hold up. From hard pack to deep powder, racing to touring, these skis perform and continue to hold up.
The secret behind my inability to break this super light ski;
"The Aramid is among the most important synthetic fibers. It's used in aerospace and military applications due to its incredible resistance features. The aramid honeycomb compound core represents the best strenght / lightweight ratio available today on the market. Ski Trab has chosen the best material to obtain long term high stability, performance and durability of the skis."
