The backcountry skier's ethical dilemma: to poach a few turns or not to poach? The Black Diamond Ethic Telemark ski's answer is "Yes, duh." The Ethic is a hyper-versatile midfat, equally at home in fluffy, virgin powder or in sun-hardened mashed-potato mank. The Ethic's Densolite/wood core is leg-sparingly light for backcountry use, but tough enough to take resort abuse for days when you're feeling like someone else should do the work getting you up the hill. Dura-Edge carbide steel edges hold a tune famously, and the Electra sintered graphite base is eye-wateringly fast if that's your thing. The Ethic's binding plate handles tele or AT bindings equally well. If you can only have one ski, or aren't sure which one from the quiver is right, grab the Ethic and you'll be ready for anything.
Bottom Line: The only Ethical dilemma is which beer is better for apr s ski.
