The Tempo from La Sportiva is for those who embark on long skin tracks toward heavenly conditions. With these rockets under your feet, you won’t feel bogged down or drained at the top of your line. The lightweight paulownia wood core pairs with the ski’s full sidewall construction, like an outstanding Cabernet, and whatever food pairs well with a Cabernet. With a tip of 129-mm, the Tempo thrives in deeper snow and can lay a pow turn with the best of them. However, the full-length sidewalls and a waist width of 103mm give the ski brilliant edge control and confidence on variable snow. Clocking in at a mere 1800g, this ski is a lightweight tool for the backcountry athlete who craves long days and technical turns through steep couloirs.
