Head to head, by character

Each ski's own read, side by side — the same three things that define how it skis.
Turn & shape
A long 20.0-meter radius is built for open, sweeping turns that want room to run; a moderate taper keeps the shovel engaged for hold at speed rather than quickness.
A 17.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a poplar ash wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,775 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Built without metal on a tubelite woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,490 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.
Float & width
At 91 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
