First Test: IDOne TR-TTM 180cm

IDone (pronounced "eye dee wun") of Japan has a cult-like following of fanatical enthusiasts who swear by their extensive line of professional mogul skis.  IDone also produces technical carving skis as well as a collection of all-mountain skis.  We got our hands on two pairs of their technical carving skis, the TR-TTR GS and TR-TTM "cheater GS".  The initial review of the 180cm TR-TTM ski can be found here in the reviews forum.

The IDone TR-TTM 180cm is a narrow (105-68-94mm, 180cm R=21.3m) GS carving ski with a wood core of Japanese maple and beech (all hardwood). fiberglass and titanal pressed tightly into a precision chassis with exceptional quality, fit and finish.  The short story is this ski is a high-speed, quiet razor for groomed surfaces. It craves relatively large-radius turns at speed, but has no hint of nervous behavior at any time.  Like many high-end GS skis, the TR-TTM does not display a rowdy, snappy rebound when pressured and released.  Instead, it delivers an authoritative grip and powerful change of direction on command.  Read more of the review for some details and pictures.  The North American importer can be found in Canada.
