Details
✔️ Sidecut is ideal for medium length turns and shines in when skiing in trees and variable terrain on the mountain
✔️ Early-rise tip profile is a directional shape that pairs off-piste stability and soft snow performance with control
✔️ Rocker in the tips handles crud and bumps for downhill performance and provides maximum float in soft snow; slightly eased tails add control and stay out of the way in a kick turn
✔️ Wide waist and shovel tip blasts through waist-deep powder with composure
✔️ A just-the-right-weight touring ski helps. you enjoy the way down a little more than the way up ;)
✔️ Sandwich construction with a full-width triaxial fiberglass layup
✔️ Blended wood core is composed of FSC certified poplar and birch that improves stability in firm and variable conditions
✔️ Slanted ABS sidewalls provide torsional stiffness
Tech Specs
Tip & Tail Rocker
Tip and Tail Rocker (480 mm tip / 225 mm tail) with 2mm camber underfoot.
- Floats in powder and plows through chunder - The wide and rockered tip helps the ski float in untracked powdery bliss and easily maneuver through variable conditions
- Stable on groomed runs - The camber underfoot keeps you in control on the groomers, but the width underfoot and overall design is not meant to perform in icy, boiler plate conditions
Sidecut
18m sidecut radius is suited for medium-length turns and tight trees.
- Medium-length turns - Perfect radius for linking controlled, medium-length turns
- Tree skiing performance - Excels even in tight trees
- Responsive handling - Quick and predictable edge-to-edge engagement
FSC Certified Birch & Poplar Wood Core
Birch wood is durable, responsive, and lively. It transmits your movements directly to the snow and doesn't feel dead or dull. Poplar makes the ski feel lively and reduces weight.
Triaxial Fiberglass Laminates
- Torsional strength - Resists twisting when you're on edge
- Smooth power transfer - Your energy goes efficiently into the turn
- Consistent flex - The ski bends predictably from tip to tail
- Dampens vibration - Reduces chatter at high speeds
IS 7500 Sintered Base
- Fast - Sintered bases glide better than extruded bases
- Durable - Harder than extruded bases, resisting scratches and gouges
- Repairable - Our bases are 1.3 mm thick, which is thicker than industry standard so you can stone grind the base more times
1.7mm Steel Edges
Lightweight 1.7mm steel edges that won't dull quickly and grip hard snow and ice.
