Fabulous. Whilst the pure FIS-WC ski is known as a handful, the retail version, the Omeglass World Cup is an excellent performer. Even though the Omeglass hasn't appeared to change too much over the years the performance has always improved.

This newer model seems more direct than the outgoing Omeglass. As is the current trend the ski works stronger down the fall-line and allows the slalom skier to be more acute in their angles. Lightening quick from edge-to-edge and smooth with it, this is a ski for instructors or experts who love short, thigh-burning turns and precise, rock-solid edge control. The Omeglass WC does almost dance, float down the piste as opposed to many of the more Germanic models, which although they can feel more "planted" often also feel a little less agile and immovable. An excellent pair of skis.
