Why haven't they overhauled this ski yet? Because you don't need to mess with near perfection. The Serpo is still a top dog and a benchmark in the all-mountain category and a Ski Monster ski tester favorite. At 93mm underfoot the Serpo has a "wider" platform but the Serpo loves to carve turns on the frontside.

For a ski that carves this well, it is not demanding and feels light and nimble underfoot. Leaned into a turn the Serpo feels limitless and confident no matter the speed or edge angle. In tight terrain, the light feel underfoot will allow you to easily pick your way through.

In softer or heavier snow you'll appreciate the 93mm waist width and wider shovel the Serpo offers to help keep you on top of the snow and the Serpo is strong enough to blast through crud with confidence. Expert skiers will love this ski but it's also a ski that intermediates will appreciate. It initiates turns smoothly and with confidence and it's forgiving enough to allow skiers with less than perfect form to access the power and precision the Serpo has without feeling like the Serpo is too much ski, or difficult to control.

The Serpo is accessible and predictable which are traits that skiers of all abilities generally look for and appreciate in good skis.
