Key Features

• Carbon Stringers: Between 8 and 12 unidirectional carbon stringers sandwich either side of the ski's wood core, adding stability without extra bulk. Each strip is woven into the fiberglass for strength and stiffness along the full length of the ski.
• Poplar & Fiberglass Core: Light, medium-weight, durable poplar wood flexes and pops nicely with strong vibration absorption, used as the sole wood in this core to let the ski pop, butter, and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski while holding torsional stability for confident downhill grip. Set between two layers of fiberglass for strength, rigidity, and durability.
• Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pads: A carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot adds strength where it matters most, protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impacts while adding stability and vibration absorption under your boots.
• Elliptical Sidecut: A longer radius underfoot for fast, easy pivoting paired with a shorter radius in the tip and tail for easier turn initiation, allowing a wide variety of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions.
• Boat Flex: Freestyle rocker complemented by stiffer tips and tails to help settle the ski and power through variable snow, absorbing vibration on landings, with a touch more flex underfoot for pop on demand.
• Premium All-Mountain Freeride Twin Tip: A slightly skinnier tail and wider tip for superior downhill performance versus a symmetrical twin, with matched tip and tail height for optimal switch skiing. Generous rocker and modest camber create a playful character, while moderate taper and Elliptical Sidecut provide precise handling and carving.
• Sintered Base: A fast, durable base built for long-term performance.
