OVERVIEW:
Hero Athlete GS is our proven U14 and U16 Giant Slalom ski. Construction is derived from the latest developments and testing with World Cup athletes and adapted in size 170, 175, 182 and 185cm. Softer flexes than FIS models, make it an optimal choice for the developing athletes to progress fundamentals and squeeze time off the clock on any GS course. Line Control Technology (LCT) provides precision and grip at speed. LCT technology eliminates reverse camber flex providing better snow contact and stability in turns. Race-ready construction for a balance of total control of your line, power and precision to win races.
