Detail
- 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
