Majesty Skis 2021: The First Look
Wreaking Havoc.
Descending on the US from the High Tatra Mountains of southern Poland, Majesty skis have big mountains in their DNA. The brand bases its North American operation out of the Pacific Northwest, too, so infuse that European alpine influence with some volcano-shredding credentials, and you get skis handcrafted for freeride skiing in any type of snow. They can also handle technical adventuring in scary places or mellow meadow skipping.
For 2021, Majesty overhauls its freeride and touring lines, bringing some exciting new models to the collection. The poster-child: the brand-new Havoc. It’s a 110mm-waisted freeride/big-mountain ski that grew from Majesty’s immensely successful Supernova touring line. Replacing the old Destroyer, the Havoc is comparatively lighter, more versatile, and easier to ski. That’s thanks to a four-radius sidecut, carbon, and lightweight wood in the core. We love the Havoc for all types of western resort skiing, from sketchy chutes to afternoon groomers, and with its light weight, it’s a great ski to pair with a hybrid alpine touring binding like the Salomon Shift or Marker Duke PT.
Wider, at 118mm underfoot, and built with more rocker, the Vanguard is another new model that we’re looking forward to skiing. It replaces the old Lumberjack, built with more taper and more camber. That means better powder surf but also increased versatility.
And that’s not all. If the Havoc and the Vanguard are the freeride-loving, resort slaying standbys, new skis in the Majesty touring range are the adventurers. Built for skiers who want real skis on the downhill, they fit every backcountry skiers’ needs at waist widths ranging from 85mm (Superscout Carbon) to 103mm (Supernova). We like the looks of the Superwolf, a 91mm-waisted technical weapon for slicing and dicing couloirs and spring corn.
ON SNOW
Havoc: Justin skied the Havoc at Outdoor Retailer’s on-snow demo. He says: “It’s a light ski, so it would be good with a Shift. It’s a more fun, lighter-weight version of some similar skis out there, and it made a variety of turn shapes easily with good edge hold.”
Vanguard: Justin: “Light for its size and stable.”
