Features:

• Poplar core

Poplar is a light-coloured, medium-weight, durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures the skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on descents and in the park.

• Dual Span Titanal

Titanal is a premium, strong metal alloy with isotropic strength, meaning it is equally strong in all directions. This quality ensures skis that love to edge, tackle bumps, and remain stable in variable snow, making Titanal the ideal chassis for your dream freeride skiing.

• Recycled materials

They work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. Base, sidewall, and topsheet material scraps are mixed with the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining the same level of quality and durability.

• Locally sourced materials

To reduce supply chain impact, they strive to source materials from European companies located near the factories. Reducing distance, reducing emissions, reducing impact.

• 100% renewable energy factory

The skis are manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy. By eliminating the use of oil, the production process annually reduces millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions. Eco-friendly performance in every run.

• XL 2.5mm edges

The edge of a ski is crucial for its performance and handling. The skis are made with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They are built to last.

• Full Strength sidewalls

Experience superior edge grip and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the wood core, edges, and topsheet from impacts and damage. Increased durability and performance every season, peak, and route.

• Elliptical sidecut

The elliptical sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and a shorter radius at the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing the ski's versatility and control.

• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

The Anti-Chip Micro Cap protects the ski tips and tails from wear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This prevents the ski from chipping and further sidewall damage every day on the mountain.

• Mustache Flex

The 'Mustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easing turn initiation and completion.
