* A flagged radius is the underfoot figure from a multi-radius sidecut, measured differently than a single full-length radius — the positions are not strictly comparable.

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 15.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.
A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the arc.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a wood core, 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.
Built without metal on a multilayer woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. Even without metal, 2,220 g gives it a planted, substantial feel underfoot.
Float & width
At 107 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
At 121 mm this is a powder width, built to stay on top in deep snow and surf rather than carve. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.

* The two skis may measure turn radius differently. A multi-radius sidecut publishes a separate radius per section; the figure shown is the underfoot radius, which reads tighter than the ski's real all-mountain turn shape. We show each as published rather than forcing a false match.
