Foon Gretski Ski - Review

Not being a huge hockey fan myself I still grew up in the era where Wayne Gretzky was the “great one” and now Johnny “Foon” Chilton has brought us a new great ski, aptly named the ‘Gretski’. It also just happens to be 99.99mm wide under foot—get the metaphor? Good.

I was counting on the Foon Gretskis to be able to rail on the groomers but was surprised to find that they were just as much at home in the deep backcountry pow. Given that it is only 99cm underfoot which by today’s standards is not considered a fat ski, the Gretski performed much like a wider set of planks. I mounted the Gretskis with the new Tyrolia Ambition Alpine Touring Bindings which paired well with the lightweight characteristics of this ski. A pair of tech bindings would have been a phenomenal match as well.
