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 18.5-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 wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,975 g it stays light and maneuverable.
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,215 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Float & width
At 105 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
At 106 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
