2027 Men's Narrow Frontside Ski Comparison

On the other end of the spectrum from Powder skis, we find our Narrow Frontside category. Skis here range from 65 mm underfoot to 74, and most of them feature more stout, sturdy, and race-like builds for high-performance carving and technical skiing. If you're an instructor, demonstrator, racer (current or former), or just a carving enthusiast who spends most of their time on firm and groomed terrain, skis like these fit the bill perfectly. Most skis here have short to medium turn radii while others like to open it up and function more as GS skis with high-speed stability. Either way, it doesn't take long to get to dual-metal (or even tri-metal) laminate skis here due to the need for damping and power within this range.

2027 Rossignol Hero Elite MT Ti CAM Skis

Overview:

The Rossignol Hero Elite MT Ti CAM gets a refresh for this year that allows it to engage easier and more powerfully into the turns thanks to their Power Tip technology. That's the big story here—the rest is somewhat similar. We get a poplar wood core, a Titanal Beam through the length of the ski, and a new generation of their Carbon Alloy Matrix which is a weave of carbon and basalt in a diagonal fashion to stiffen and energize the ski. In the 178, we get a turn radius of 15-meters, and it turns on a dime, and at 73 mm underfoot it's one of the wider skis on this list and is quite a versatile carver. It's pretty light, too, and not that demanding, so if you're looking to make the most of your carving days without putting in too much effort, this is a great place to be.

Who it’s For:

Energetic skiers who like precision and power without putting in race-like effort.

2027 Stockli Laser SX Skis

Overview:

Redesigned for 2027, the Stockli Laser SX features a wider platform to boost the ski's versatility in both turn style and application. In the 172 cm length, the ski now has measurements of 122/74/103 to generate a 15.9-meter turn radius. This wider shape does help with balance and stability, even if it eats into the precision a bit—that's what the SC and WRT skis are for. This one works great thanks to the Turtle Shell 2.0 cutouts that increase accessibility at slower speeds while interlocking to generate power and stability when going faster. The SX uses a mostly poplar wood core with beech to steady the ski. They use two sheets of metal for power while the shape allows for mixing technical and more recreational skiing.

Who it’s For:

This is a great option for skiers who mix professional-style tech skiing and more meandering carves. You can push it hard or lay back on it and the ski is happy either way.

2027 Nordica Dobermann Multipista 74 DC Skis

Overview:

There's something very nice about being able to release your tail in the middle of a carved turn. Perhaps this appeals more to freeriders on a carving ski than a purist racer, but still, the Multipista 74 does things that no other ski on this list can do, and it does so without a precipitous drop in on-trail power and performance. At 74 mm underfoot, and built with a Double Core technology featuring two layers of wood, two laminates of metal, and a pulse core in the middle, the Multipista 74 is truly meant to blur the lines between front side and all-mountain. With just a bit of rocker in the tips and tails to increase the versatility of the ski, notably the engagement and release phases, the Multipista 74 is a unique ski in this category. It's great in the bumps, decent in the trees, and a straight-up rockstar on the groomers.

Who it’s For:

Strong and smooth skiers who like the feeling of carving a pure turn with the ability to release when necessary.

2027 Head Supershape e-Magnum Skis

Overview:

With a ton of sophistication and technology in the construction, the Head Supershape e-Magnum is a great option for technical skiers who like a solid ski that's not overly rugged. You get the 72 mm width, the 13.1-meter turn radius in the 170, and you get the fully cambered shape to go along with their Worldcup Sandwich construction, and that adds up to a strong on-piste ski that favors precision and dedication to the craft. Head uses a carbon layup underfoot and their Energy Management Circuits in the forebody and through the aft portions of the ski to keep it firm and planted on the snow. With the use of graphene, two layers of metal, and strategically placed damping laminates, these skis have all you need to make some sweet carves on firm snow and ice.

Who it’s For:

We see a lot of instructors, coaches, and technical skiers on the Magnum. It's also a good choice for a progressing expert who's looking to get into the carving world.

2027 Stockli Laser SC Skis

Overview:

The Stockli Laser SC is a sharp, crisp, and precise ski that makes great short to mid-radius carves with a solid and confident feel. The SC uses Stockli's race core which has a mix of beech and poplar to go along with two sheets of metal. They use Flex Torsion Control to allow for easier slow speed skiing but that activation process kicks in when you start going faster which allows for increased smoothness and stability on ice and at higher speeds. With stiffer sidewalls and a solid metal edge, the SC gets all the benefits of a race build in a friendlier shape and style. The 70 mm waist is buoyed by 120 mm tips and 102 mm tails to create a 14.9-meter turn radius un the 170 cm length.

Who it’s For:

Clean skiers who like to rip carved turns on firm snow and groomers. You value smoothness and damping but not at the expense of performance.

2027 Stockli Laser SC Orea Skis

Overview:

There's not a whole lot to be said about the Laser SC Orea in terms of performance and shape as this ski is a structural twin to the normal SC. It becomes slightly more demanding only in the sense of price, with this limited-edition paint job running you an extra $300 or so. We're still dealing with a strong and energetic ski that holds an edge on ice while allowing for more versatile skiing in varied conditions and terrain. It's actually decent in the moguls, which is something that we can't necessarily say about many other skis on this list. Thanks to the slower speed compliance built in with the Flex Torsion Control, the SC Orea is capable of making cleaner and rounder turns at more moderate speeds, increasing the overall reach and "value" of this ski.

Who it’s For:

Laser SC skiers who want a different look and don't mind spending a few extra dollars to have a different graphic.

2027 Kastle Legend 1968 Wedler Skis

Overview:

Something fun happens when you mix a lighter and energetic wood like caruba with two sheets of metal and carbon inserts. The Kastle Legend 1968 Wedler, with a 70 mm waist, works incredibly well at mixing quick and energetic turns with the comfort and stability of a dual-metal laminate ski. The Wedler uses a 13.8-meter turn radius in the 171 and is relatively light in weight. Built with carbon hollowtech, there's plenty of sophistication and design implemented into these skis as they certainly have the high end feel to go along with their high end price tag. Another really nice detail here is the use of a steel edge along the top of the ski to protect it and give it a finished look. It's got to add some stability and smoothness as well, since it's a 360-degree rim of metal that adds to the overall steadiness of the ski.

Who it’s For:

Traditional and classic carvers who love a unique and individualistic carver for frontside activities.

2027 Rossignol Hero ST Ti Skis

Overview:

This powerful short-turning master loves to be on edge and making metronomic carves. Rossignol updates this ski with their Power Tip technology that makes it cleaner, quicker, and smoother to get the ski up on edge with an interlocking connection with the ski's titanal layer. In addition, the ST is built with a beech wood core for predictability and power. Add a full titanal layer to that mix and you've got a race feel with a slalom mentality. V-Profile and LCT also chip in to the ski's powerful character to create a comfortable yet dynamic feel. This adds up to a ski with a 13-meter turn radius in the 167 cm length. While they don't adhere to FIS slalom specs or anything like that, they're certainly very slalom-adjacent when it comes to linking short turns on firm and groomed terrain. At 68 mm underfoot, they're very quick edge to edge and that's just the way they want it.

Who it’s For:

Slalom-oriented skiers who love linking carved turns and not much else.

2027 Atomic Redster S9 Skis

Overview:

With a slalom cut and a strong build, the Atomic Redster S9 loves a short turn on the feet of a skilled skier. Built with a blend of poplar and ash, the Redster S9 also uses a Carbon Boost laminate underfoot to stiffen the ski and increase torsional rigidity. Keeping it smooth and composed is the updated Revoshock S plates that are now integrated into the core of the ski rather than just sitting on top of it. These steel plates work with the elastomer material to create a damp and predictable feel. In the 165 cm length, the skis produce a 12.5-meter turn radius thanks to a 68 mm waist bookended by 118 mm tips and 104 mm tails. This is a relatively narrow ski overall, and that creates a very quick edge to edge sensation that slalom and technical skiers thoroughly enjoy. Be prepared to make a lot of turns if you ski in an area with long runs.

Who it’s For:

Skiers who are trying their darndest to emulate Mikaela Shiffrin will find they still have their work cut out for them on a Redster S9, but they can sure try!

2027 Salomon Equipe SL 12 Skis

Overview:

Keeping consistent in the realm of slalom-esque skis, the Salomon Equipe SL 12 fits right in. With measurements of 121/68/104, the skis generate a 13-meter turn radius—ideal for short swing carves from top to bottom and not much else. Built with a poplar wood core and an ash insert, we get a move towards race room but still accessible enough for high-end recreational experts. They also benefit from two layers of titanal and Salomon's Power Control system to keep the underfoot zone zone damp with cork integrated into the titanal layer. We talk a lot about core thickness around here, but Salomon emphasizes sidewall thickness, boasting a 7 mm thick profile within the sidewall. If you think about sidewalls as a vertical laminate within the ski, you're getting quite a bit more stiffness and control as a result.

Who it’s For:

Like these other SL skis, we're aiming right at an expert skier looking for a short turn race feel.

2027 Head Supershape e-Original Skis

Overview:

As the narrowest of the Supershapes, the e-Original is also the most slalom-oriented. This ski uses a short radius of 12.1-meters in the 170 cm length, so you need to be prepared for a lot of turns. Built like the rest of the skis in the Supershape series, the e-Original uses their Worldcup Sandwich construction which involves a strong wood core, graphene, two layers of metal, damping laminates, and their Energy Management Circuits to filter out unwanted vibrations. As a result, when you get this ski up on a high edge angle, you'll feel the pull and power of the ski coming around and wanting to carve back up the hill—it's a very sharp, clean, and precise feel in the ski. The edge grip is fantastic as a result, but be aware that this ski is very singular in turn shape and style.

Who it’s For:

Skiers who love short slalom-style turns will get along great with the e-Original. You value symmetry, timing, and quickness when it comes to carving.

2027 Fischer RC4 Noize ST Skis

Overview:

The power, stiffness, and precision of these skis are off the charts. With a shorter turn radius of 13-meters in the 165 cm length, the Noize ST is certainly more of a slalom ski with timing and balance having very strong aspects to the ski's character. The skis are 66 mm underfoot, so right there with the narrowest on this list. The skis use two sheets of metal, with one functioning as a .8 thick and the other at .5. We also get their Noize Control Technology which features an additional webbing of metal to dampen and control chatter and vibrations. Built with a strong and dense beech wood core, these skis follow a lot of the race room technology, which for Fischer, is a very good thing. As with most skis that follow race style, specifically slalom, these are relatively narrow in scope as well as width.

Short turn specialists who love the sensation of technical linking of carved turns.

We get a sturdy wood core, two sheets of metal, graphene, and Head's Energy Management Circuits that reduce unwanted vibrations. These skis, even though they're not quite as stiff as some others here, do feel damper and more powerful overall with fantastic edge grip to go along with sure-footed stability on ice. At 68 mm underfoot, these skis feature a 12-meter turn radius which is very short and slalom-based. These skis would work well in a slalom course, but since most recreational skiers don't get that opportunity a whole lot, they can pretend on an open trail and still get those same sensations of crisp carving and impeccable energy.

Overview:

Built with power and spryness in mind, the Stockli Laser WRT is a quick-turning ski with race DNA. While the agility and pep lend to a shorter turn mentality, the skis are also very comfortable at higher speeds and in longer turns. Built with a blend of beech and poplar, featuring two sheets of metal, the WRT also uses two carbon applications to add more of a zippy feel to it, especially versus its WRT Pro cousin. The Carbon Power Turn, found underfoot, creates more stiffness and response while the Carbon Steering Control layer is in the forebody of the ski to create a lively feel. What you're getting here, at the end of the day, is a mix of sporty precision and long turn power that satisfies the needs of advanced and expert on-piste skiers who love to mix turn shape, style, and speed.

2027 Kastle MX 74 Skis

Overview:

As one of the only skis on this list that's based off a group with wider skis, the Kastle MX 74 is likely the most all-mountain oriented of the group. It'd be a fun comp to do with the Multipista, but the tail of this MX 74 keeps it locked in to the turn and with more of a race feel overall. Built with their Infinicore technology of poplar and beech stringers, the skis have a high end feel that's only bolstered by two sheets of metal, a full race sidewall, and a thick and chonky metal tail. This makes for a strong and sturdy feel that has Hollowthech Evo in the tips to keep the vibrations to a minimum. In the 178, the skis produce a 16.9-meter turn radius, so they do fall more in the mid-radius zone—equally as happy to make shorter slalom turns as they are to make longer and more drawn-out carves. While offered flat, we find that the system works well here as it gets you up off the snow a bit more and provides a more solid underfoot feel.

Who it’s For:

Technical skiers who love the solid feel of a purely carved turn. You don't mind a stiff tail to go along with a more approachable shovel.

At 72 mm underfoot, these skis are very crisp and energetic, having a race-like character to go along with a strong and energetic tail. The Noize Control Technology works very well in these skis as the metallic web of stringers keeps the skis purely quiet and totally in control even in the harshest situations. These skis absolutely rip carved turns and have amazing energy to go along with a smooth and stable feel. Fischer's on-piste department is churning out some amazing skis these days, and the DTX is a prime candidate for narrow recreational race skis.

The skis use a mix of beech and poplar to go along with two sheets of titanal. The big story here is the use of that upper titanal laminate as the topsheet, making the smoothness and power stand out. It's also a bit lighter than the WRT because it eliminates the need for that extra topfoil laminate. We still get a lot of control and pop here, as the ski will hold tight to any type of snow and rip short to medium-radius carves with no issues whatsoever. You get outstanding grip and control with this ski and you can push it has hard as you can or want to and it'll keep coming back for more.

These new skis were real eye-openers for us this past winter, especially from a fun carving perspective. They are sharp, crisp, and incredibly active. They have a stiff flex and can be used and skied aggressively on firm and hard pack snow. In addition, they make multiple turn shapes and styles for skiers who aren't specifically locked in to one type of arc. Built with a mix of beech and poplar in the core, the skis also use Elan's Active Suspension Technology to keep things damp and powerful. We get two full layers of titanal in these skis, with the upper laminate broken into three pieces. The center layer overlaps the fore and aft sections with elastomer material in the overlapping parts. This works like a leaf spring in a car's suspension system to absorb shock and provide feedback. It works quite well and creates a nice mix of feedback and smoothness. In the 179, we're getting a 15.4-meter turn radius and a 74 mm waist which rips you across the hill with energy and vigor.

We also get two sheets of metal, a carbon plate underfoot, and specifically engineered sidewalls that add more stiffness, grip and energy to the mix. Overall, the straighter cut of this ski lends itself to more smoothness and stability at speed, specifically in slightly longer turns. While it's not quite as stiff or powerful as the X9s, it does have more of a comfort zone in wider spaces and even in gates. The skis work great on firm and smooth snow and prefer that speedy vibe that makes them come alive.

It's fun and rewarding to try and keep up with that arc, as the construction of the ski lends itself to having a smooth, precise, and totally powerful character. It's quite limited in scope in terms of mixing turn shapes and styles, but that's a big part of the charm when it comes to pure frontside skis with absolutely smashing construction strength.

With a 68 mm waist width, the skis use 115.5 mm tips and 98.5-mm tails to create an 18.5-meter arc. While this isn't near the FIS rules for GS racing, it's still on the high end for skis in this range, allowing experts and former racers the ability to feel steady and comfortable.

2027 Head WC Rebels e-Race Pro Skis

Overview:

Anecdotally, I skied this ski on one of the firmest days of the year this past season and was blown away at the stability, confidence, and power that the ski produced. It's not terribly surprising, I guess, with a race plate, a 68 mm waist, and Head's World Cup Sandwich construction. All of this adds up to a tool that operates perfectly as intended. It's a race ski with a slightly friendlier shape, helping mortal skiers get it around in a carved turn without being terribly overbearing. In the 170 cm length, the skis produce a 14.8-meter turn radius, and they like it but can also be used in longer turn formats without missing a beat. It's all about blending the dense core, thick metal, and burly plate when it comes to railing high speed turns on hardpack, and these skis can handle that with ease.
