Wed’ze FR 500 Slash 100
Accessible, affordable and quite simply flippin’ awesome – the new Wed’ze Slash 100 is a superb gateway freeride ski. Nimble, fun and oh so speedy, it’s a fine-looking, fully rockered, floaty ski that oozes the freeride fun factor.
Chrigl put it to the test in Chamonix last winter and was super impressed: “On-piste the short 17m radius and the energetic rebound in the flex makes the ski super reactive. It was just mega fun. Side-hits, tight carves, spins and changeable snow were all a hoot and all within a versatile 100mm underfoot package.
The Slash was definitely on the softer side of the spectrum but I was reminded how a ski with a consistent flex and feel can ride with the confidence of a stiffer ski.
For a beginner or intermediate this would be a fantastic resort mess-around ski. And for a more advanced skier it was great to get on something that had such a playful side but could still handle speed. I can only imagine how much fun you could have skiing late-season slushy laps, carving it and jumping off of everything in sight.”

Verdict
A fantastic resort mess-around ski - playful yet capable. Nimble, fun and oh so speedy, it’s a fine-looking, fully rockered, floaty ski that oozes the freeride fun factor.
