The instantly recognisable top sheet of the Sin 7 hasn't changed since last winter, nor has the price or performance - indeed, we'd argue that what was already a great all-round performer has improved slightly this season thanks to the addition of lighter tips and tails and a harder sidewall, which has improved piste performance.

As you'd expect from a ski at this level, there's a full woodcore construction, and there's also a diagonal fibre reinforcement giving the skis a powerful feel, yet retaining the agile nature that makes the Sin 7 such as joy to ski.

Off-piste performance is lively and fun - if you really want to spend as much time as possible in the powder you're probably better off moving up to the wider and equally good Soul 7 with its 106mm waist, but if you tend to spend as much time on piste as off the Sin 7 is a fine choice of ski.

Good edge hold on both short and long radius turns, consistency at high and low speeds and a smooth yet lively performance in everything other than deep powder make the Sin 7 a great value one ski quiver for advanced skiers.

Already thought of as a classic only after a short time and a ski you're likely to see in the hands of a seasonaire who likes getting out in all conditions.
