Madshus Annum

109-78-95mm  |  5lb. 13oz.  |  $340

We’re with David Byrne on the Madshus Annum: “Same as it ever was.” Karhu to Madshus, no disruption. Same thing with the ski: an overall smoothie. As one tester put it: “The Madshus was by far the nicest descending ski. It’s fast, quick to turn and the radius seems right. The climbability was not overwhelming but adequate, and the lightness in a tour is nice—I’d take these out.”
