The Numero Uno N°1 RC is a ski that should be considered by everyone who enjoys ripping up groomers on a bluebird morning. While the Numero Uno collection name is new, an homage to the old Spalding skis, the N°1 RC model is the renamed Great Shape, a ski that we reviewed a few seasons back.
Philpug: This was billed as a cheater GS ski, but it is so much more than that. I have said this only once before about a ski: it slows down time. The Great Shape is the type of ski that villages will write songs about. Such smoothness is rarely seen in a ski without a comma in its price tag.

- Insider tip: Buy flat and add a race plate, maybe a Marker piston plate and an Xcell 16.0.
- Insider tip: Take a look at the 164 (13 m, suspiciously SL-ish), 170 (14 m), and 176 (16 m); pick your personality, and have fun.
- Who is it for?
- This is a sports car -- think of a red one, maybe with a prancing horse on the side, but with Audi pricing.
- Who is it not for?
- While some are calling the 71 a cheater GS, there are real race skis that are better.
