Features

  • Optimized strength-to-weight ratio
  • Slightly increased stiffness in the tips and extended running surface improve stability
  • Updated tail blocks improve tail clip retention and punch through stubborn layers in the snowpack, a big benefit for anchor building or tail jab kick turns in steep terrain
  • Algal Core is a vertically laminated composite of microalgae-derived high-density polyurethane and domestically sourced aspen
  • Stable and intuitive, this combination reduces weight and offers damping properties unattainable in solid wood core constructions
  • Polyurethane bio-based carbon content is 41.58% by ASTM D6866-18 Method B
  • Algal Wall is a cast polyurethane sidewall derived from microalgae oil that delivers superior damping compared to traditional materials and exhibits increased impact strength
  • This Algal Wall increases bio-based content over the original Algal Wall from 58% to 67% by ASTM D6866-18 Method B
  • Spiral Plate provides ~35% better binding screw retention strength than maple inserts used in previous years; it also diverts landfill waste and reduces use of virgin material
  • Spiral Plate creates a more even flex from tips to tails
  • Progressive flex begins medium-to-stiff in the tails, transitioning to stiffer through the mid section and decreasing gradually toward the tips
  • This flex pattern creates a solid platform for stability in the tails and underfoot while the medium tip flex handles crud and variable conditions with ease
  • Due to its narrower width, the torsional stiffness of these skis is super strong, allowing for optimal edge hold and stability in variable conditions
  • Camber profile delivers versatility, greater edge contact on piste and a more traditional feel
  • Intended for all-mountain use and boilerplate-to-boot-top pow
  • Artwork by artist Christian Johansen
