Ski review Elan Wingman 82 CTI
At the 2021/2022 ski test the skis in the All Mountain category were closely evaluated on the Mölltal Glacier. In addition to a very good test result, the Wingman 82 CTI has also won the bronze medal in SnowStyle. >> Click here for the detailed review with all tested models!
I have not used the Fischer skis you mentioned, but I have ridden the Wingman 82 CTIs a lot. I don't think the turn radius on the 172cm version would make the ski unstable. I ski on the 184 and I can easily vary the turn shape from long to short - which is the sign of a great ski. The Fischer is probably a more on-piste centric ski with more of a race ski feel to it. The Wingman is less of a racer, but an extremely capable ski on piste, with a bit of off-piste capability thrown in, making it very versatile. I find the skis to be very easy to turn, with very smooth edge transitions and a huge amount of grip on firm snow. I can also ski them easily at slow speeds as well as fast speeds. I ski pretty fast, but definitely not racer-fast. Compared to the other skis I use (K2 Reckoner 102s, Atomic Vantage 90s), the Wingman skis are much more fun to fly down groomed runs - they are the best skis I have used for this. I consider myself to be a high level advanced skier, but not an expert. They are a great ski. It all depends on what you are looking for.
