The product description below has been taken from the Black Diamond’s Official Website and is NOT original text by Ski Prophet.
At a massive 135 mm underfoot, the Black Diamond Gigawatt is the biggest, baddest ski that Black Diamond makes. By combining an extended running length with a tip-to-tail, fully rockered profile, the Gigawatt achieves longboard-style, powder skiing bliss with enough edge underfoot for confidence on groomers and hard snow. That profile, combined with the weight-saving ribs and channels of our iconic Formula One Technology, allows this supertanker to still be responsive and quick edge-to-edge-critical for a ski this size.
- 135 mm waist with our powder specialty geometry
- Full-length, de-cambered Rocker for instant turn response
- More surface area and usable contact length than the Megawatt
- Poplar and birch Internal Wall Core Technology for added pop and stability
- Formula One Technology with three ribs and Torsion Box Construction for maximum torsional stiffness
- Optimal use: 90% soft snow / 10% hard snow
