SKIS THAT SHIFT MODES WITH A CLICK

Why buy two pairs of skis for different conditions? This set morphs at the flip of a switch: stiff for speeding down hard-packed snow or slaloms, flexible for accommodating tired legs or loose powder. When you click the lever, carbon-fiber rods down the length of each ski push against springs at the tip and become tenser, making the ski more rigid. $1,450; volkl.com
