Skitrab Altavia Carbon touring ski test
The Altavia Carbon ski from Skitrab is a model for skiers looking for fun on both ascents and descents. Taking the best of Trab technology and the progressive Attivo tip, this ski combines lightness, ease of use, reliability, grip and performance. Ideal for hard snow and steep slopes.
Test conditions
Skis mounted with a VIPEC, 900-meter D+ powder outing at Sullens near Thônes, between the Aravis and Tournette mountains.
Advantages of the Altavia Carbon
On the ascent, it's a relatively light ski, making it accessible to those looking for a ski that's not too heavy. We tested it with Colltex skins (sticky).
On the way down, the first thing we noticed is that this ski is reassuring and very pleasant on all types of slope. We tested it in powder. Very good shock absorption. It adapts perfectly to changing snow conditions, which is relatively important in ski touring. A ski that's easy to use all season long.
The Altavia Carbon ski is slightly lighter than the classic Altavia, yet delivers the same performance. Its weight is 1.1 kg for size 157 cm.
A cool new look.
Available autumn 2016
