The Connelly F1 was the big surprise of the 2007 Ski Tests.  Slight flex and rocker adjustments to this ski have elevated it from a contender in 2006 to a Test Team favorite for 2007. The test Team rated this ski number one in both Stability and Carry Out categories. One third of the test Team ranked it as their first or second favorite ski overall. This ski will reward a patient skier with a lot of angle and width. Some skiers will find it to be occasionally squirrelly and unforgiving but most of the test Team found that the F1 rides deep in the water and felt solid under foot.

"It comes around very smooth at the finish and creates a lot of angle." Stephanie Stange

"This ski has a perfect balance of controlled speed, awesome stability and fast turns." Kim McLain

"Ski hooks up on a dime and goes right across the lake." Mark Schneewind

"If you are not in great position this, ski is not forgiving." Mike Erb

The ski has lots of speed but also bleeds it off well MS
