Unlike most things fat, the Mavens are maneuverable and aggressive. It is the boss of blower conditions. The 139mm waist delivers more stomping power than a cheesy step flick. The early-rise tip and tail keep you on top of powder no matter which direction you attack it. And the medium flex is playful in powder, but wiggles less than its competitors on the hard pack. It's a big, big ski for big, big days.  Simply put, the Maven is the finest, funnest, fat ride on the hill.

THE GOSSIP: In 08-09, skiers consistently felt they could go bigger than ever on board The Mavens.
