Ski Tests Chix Twin Tips
Group verdict
The dual gold medalists were the K2 Miss Demeanor and the Roxy Shazam. If you want to split them, then do so on the value stakes – the K2 sells for $879, but that’s without a binding. For an extra twenty bucks at $899 the Roxy Shazam includes the Look NX 10 Jib Wide binding.
