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 19.0-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 21.0-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.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a trueblend free woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 2,000 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 2,248 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.
Float & width
At 112 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.
