FEATURES

Symmetrical twin
A symmetrical twin-tip shape, subtle tip and tail rocker and pronounced camber offers riders optimal precision and edge hold.

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

Carbon stringers  
Ski light and stable with 8-12 unidirectional carbon strips on either side of the wood core. These are seamlessly woven into the fiberglass, boosting ski stability without adding bulk. Reap the benefits of strength & stiffness throughout the full length of your skis with minimal weight penalty.

Carbon and rubber stomp pad  
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.

Recycled materials  
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall, and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.

Locally sourced materials  
To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close to our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.

100% renewable energy factory  
Our skis are crafted in a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy. By eliminating oil use, our production process cuts millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions annually. Eco-friendly performance with every run.

XL 2.5mm edges  
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.

Full strength sidewall  
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL full strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak, and itinerary.

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

Anti-chip micro-cap  
The anti-chip micro-cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the micro-cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

Boat flex  
For high-speed stability and maximum pop in aerial maneuvers, the 'boat flex' ski pattern is unmatched. Featuring a stiffer tip and tail combined with a softer mid-ski section under the binding, it is perfect for those seeking a true freeride master.
