Pros
The Amethyst is a capable and stable ski. Its high level of stability and rigidity distinguishes it from the others. The female testers also noticed its good handling of curves and good grip.
Cons
A trade-off for its good performance, the testers noticed some inertia and a sensation of heaviness during the ski review session. It lacks ease a bit when skidding. This is a physically demanding ski and therefore somewhatlacks comfort and accessibility.
