The worst ski I ever had was a second year shape ski from a well regarded brand. (I won't say what it was because I got a shop deal on it.)
It was a version of a very good race carver with a softer construction. (I wanted that to help improve in moguls.) It was long and shapely, with too much surface area at the ends, not enough under foot. In soft snow or powder, it would bend like a noodle, but when it released all that energy, you had to have it pointing exactly in the right direction, which I never did. It was also to soft to carve well. All in all, the most disappointing ski I ever had.
