Brand: G3

Model: FINDr



Our take Magnets? Neat! The FINDr now has magnets in its tips and tails, which allow the skis to snap together base-to-base without the need for brakes or aftermarket straps. This makes it easy to keep the FINDrs secure when transitioning and adds security to ultralight, brakeless setups: ā€œThe skis stayed put when I was shouldering them or hauling them diagonally on my pack,ā€ one tester says.

The details The 102-underfoot FINDr remains mostly the same, with an aspen core and four carbon layers with PU sidewalls. It’s a construction that we like because it’s pretty light, while the PU minimizes the pingy feeling of a traditional carbon ski (we gave the FINDr’s cousin, the ROAMr, an Editors’ Choice Award in 2017 for the affordable tech). Nice touch: With six lengths to choose from between 164 and 189, there should be a FINDr for every skier who wants to ski the soft stuff but also craves some stability on hardpack.

Trail cred ā€œThis ski is so easy to turn it makes me feel like twice the skier I usually am,ā€ our gear editor said after ticking off the steep Skywalker Couloir in Colorado’s Indian Peaks.

6 lbs. 6 oz. (179); six lengths
