These wider-bodied GS skis are really a ton of fun. We've seen a good amount of the upper 70's to 80 underfoot skis with a race construction really take off over the past few years, and they've gotten more compliant without losing that upper-end performance, so it's a win-win for all of us skiers out here. Whether you're looking to use these for a recreational race league or your narrow ski in your quiver, the Hero Elite Plus is about as smooth and stable as it gets. They get the race-room treatment, full with dual LCT struts, increasing the fore/aft stiffness and allowing the ski to absolutely light it up on-trail. In the gates or out, the carving prowess of these skis is second to only their world cup versions. But that extra width underfoot does a few things for the skier. First, it makes it so the ski is more versatile in more than just icy conditions. Certainly nobody will mistake these for powder skis, but it wasn't too long ago that a 78 mm ski underfoot would be considered a mid-fat. As a result, you do get that performance in softer and more broken snow, as these things will absolutely murder the crud and spring corn in addition to that hard pack. Second, it gives you a wider platform to stand on. The race widths, around 65 mm underfoot are just so darn precise that unless you're an elite athlete who needs the most torsional stiffness on the planet, you should probably choose a wider ski. At 78, you don't get that wobble that you'd feel on the narrower ski, and while that does result in a little loss of stiffness and response, it's not going to end your day by any means. Structurally unchanged for 2021.
