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 18.0-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.
A long 21.5-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.
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 1,800 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Built without metal on a light swingweight woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,810 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
At 90 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.
At 90 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. A cambered profile keeps it locked to the snow for grip rather than smear-and-release.
