Condition: Used. These skis are in excellent condition. Aside from the mount holes, you can hardly tell they've been skied.
Rafiki means “friend” in Swahili and pays tribute to the trees that we plant in Kenya for every ski and snowboard we make. Indeed, this surfy pow slayer will be your best buddy when the snow flies.
But don't let the powder skis title fool you. This pivoty and nimble ski will float you through Hokkaido deep drifts, twist through tight trees and bumps, and still carve a groomer with ease. An ample tip and waist provide skiers with a floaty ride. The pared-down tail makes for quick release and instant control, while camber underfoot is all business on the groomer.
With fun skiing at any speed and in all terrain, the Rafiki is your deep snow day (and every day) besty.
