"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Locator 112 is my go-to when I want a ski that climbs light but still feels composed on the way down. The caruba core saves energy on long tours, while the rocker and Bat Tail keep it floating in deep snow. It’s surprisingly stable on steep faces too—the titanal and carbon reinforcement make it feel quiet and confident when the line gets serious.""Who It’s ForAdvanced to Expert Backcountry and Freeride Skiers:Built for skiers who prioritize uphill efficiency but still demand stability and float on the descent. Perfect for riders chasing deep powder in big mountains who want a ski that’s light enough for long days and strong enough for steep lines. What It’s ForTouring for Powder and Big-Mountain Objectives:With a 112mm waist, rockered tip and tail, and long turn radius, the Locator 112 thrives on deep backcountry days. It’s engineered for soft snow, steep terrain, and high-speed lines while remaining light enough to handle big climbs. Why We Like ItLightweight Float Meets Big-Line Stability:We like the Locator 112 because it manages to balance uphill efficiency with downhill power. The caruba core cuts weight, while carbon, fiberglass, and titanal reinforcement deliver strength and torsional control. The Bat Tail keeps skins secure on the way up and boosts maneuverability on the descent, making this ski a trustworthy choice for big objectives."
