Backcountry Description: On those glorious mornings when there's a double-digit number in the snow report, the super-fat, powder-addicted Black Diamond Megawatt Ski begs for untracked lines through bottomless fresh. This zero-camber beast returns this year with a fresh design for added pop and stability regardless of conditions. When the snow stacks up though, the Megawatt's long rocker tip and massive underfoot width keep you floating along in a snorkel-puff nirvana.

Tons o' Fun! |
These skis are a blast on big pow days and even on days when the slopes have tons of tracks. The Megawatts the crud skiing from bump to bump. Not for all mountain skiing, but I still enjoyed them on front side trails while working towards the back country.

Back in Blue! |
The same old trusty powder slayer with a fresh coat of paint. I still feel the way about them as I did when I first posted a review two years ago.Warning, this may read like a bad infomercial, but I'm really in love with these skis.How do you make 4 feel like 8, 8 feel like 16 and over 2 feet of snow the most fun you've ever had. Behold the Megawatt! Hands up, or hands down the best powder ski I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. We've had some really deep days this winter and it's nice to finally be on a ski that I can say is fat enough. No more wallowing and poling your way out when the slope flattens, these boards bring the fast flotation. The front rocker helps in several ways. The ski turns quickly, it eliminates the classic tip dive tele tumble and makes crusts, upside down pow, and variable snow a pleasure. Accidentally ended up not skiing powder one day and it was a big surprise to find they actually rail on the hardpack as well. They have acquired the nickname Mega-what, due to all the questions folks ask when they are seen touring around the backcountry. With big skis comes more weight to lug around and I'm down with light is right, but these are worth every pound and they come with me whenever there's fresh snow on the ground now. If I wasn't clear, I like them very much and highly recommend them if you ski powder often.

The Best Ski of 2008 |
This ski is fantastic in all off-piste except firm. They get a bit twitchy at very high-speeds.
