"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’d grab this ski when I wanted a powder ride that didn’t feel one-dimensional. It has the float and loose feel I want in soft snow, but it stays composed when I open it up or hit firmer patches on the way back to the lift. What stood out most to me was how playful it felt for a 115mm ski—it pivots easily, lands confidently, and still feels solid underfoot when the terrain gets serious.""Who It’s ForAdvanced to Expert Freeriders:This ski is for strong skiers who want a powder-focused ride for big terrain, faster speeds, and creative skiing in soft snow. It makes sense for riders who like to slash, smear, and pivot through technical lines but still want enough support underfoot when conditions get tracked or firm. If your ideal day includes bowls, drops, and natural features instead of just groomer laps, this ski fits the brief. What It’s ForFreeride/Powder Skiing with Big-Mountain Versatility:Built for deep days, mixed soft-snow conditions, and steep freeride terrain where float, maneuverability, and stability all matter. The double rocker and short camber profile help it feel loose and easy to pivot in powder, while the longer radius and supportive flex keep it composed when the snow gets chopped up or speeds start to climb. Why We Like ItFloat, Stability, and Playfulness Together:We like that this ski blends a surfy powder shape with the backbone needed for serious terrain. The 115mm waist gives it strong float, while the semi-cap build, full ABS sidewalls, and poplar core help it stay dependable when skiing fast or landing with intent. Carbon and Kevlar reinforcement add energy without making the ski feel too harsh, and the progressive flex pattern keeps it maneuverable in soft snow while maintaining better support at the contact points."
