Black Diamond Carbon Megawatt Skis - REVIEW
The overall geometry of the Carbon Megawatt has not changed much from the first generation Megawatt. The tip has a massive rocker on it to float in deep snow of any kind and a semi-rocker tail which allows for a fun surfy ski. A tapered sidecut and traditional camber under foot rounds things out for solid performance in powder, corn snow , schmoo and variable conditions. The Carbon Megawatt's size dictates that it's ideally a 90% soft snow / 10% hard snow ski. Given that the weight of the 188 comes in at under 10 pounds the Carbon Megawatt is ideal for ski touring. Lightweight paulownia wood is used for the core and carbon fibre reinforcements provide torsional stiffness along with what Black Diamond calls their "Formula One Technology" which you can actually see on the top sheet (look for the three ribs running the length of the ski). For a ski which is 125mm at its narrowest point the BD Carbon Megawatt is surprisingly torsionally stiff.
